Bible in Basic English
"Whoever is simple, let him come in here; and to him who has no sense, she says:"
— Proverbs 9:4, Bible in Basic English
“Whoso is simple, let him turn in hither: as for him that wanteth understanding, she saith to him,”
Wisdom has made her house, putting up her seven pillars.
She has put her fat beasts to death; her wine is mixed, her table is ready.
She has sent out her women-servants; her voice goes out to the highest places of the town, saying,
Whoever is simple, let him come in here; and to him who has no sense, she says:
Come, take of my bread, and of my wine which is mixed.
Give up the simple ones and have life, and go in the way of knowledge.
He who gives teaching to a man of pride gets shame for himself; he who says sharp words to a sinner gets a bad name.
