Norwegian 2018 (Bibelen - Guds Ord Hverdagsbibelen (Hermon Forlag))
Visdommen har bygd sitt hus med sju uthogde søyler. Hun inviterer til fest, hun har lagd mat, funnet fram den beste vinen og dekket bordet. Hun har sendt ut tjenestepikene sine, og det ropes oppe fra høydene i byen: «Hver den som ikke kjenner seg klok nok, la ham komme seg hit!», og til den som mangler forstand: «Kom, spis av det jeg har å tilby. Vend deg bort fra ufornuft og dumhet, så skal dere leve! Lev livet på en klok måte!»
