מִי־פֶ֭תִי יָסֻ֣ר הֵ֑נָּה חֲסַר־לֵ֝֗ב אָ֣מְרָה לּֽ⁠וֹ & לְ֭כוּ לַחֲמ֣וּ בְֽ⁠לַחֲמִ֑⁠י וּ֝⁠שְׁת֗וּ בְּ⁠יַ֣יִן מָסָֽכְתִּי

In these two verses, Wisdom speaks of people acquiring wisdom as they were turning aside from a path to enter Wisdom’s house, eat Wisdom’s bread, and drink Wisdom’s wine. Just as bread and wineare good and keep people alive, so wisdom also is good and something that enables people to live for a long time. If it would be helpful to your readers, you could explain the comparison. Alternate translation: “She says to him lacking of heart, ‘Whoever is naive, benefit your lives by acquiring wisdom. Doing so is like turning aside here, coming to me, eating my bread, and drinking the wine I have mixed”

Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / explicit

יָסֻ֣ר הֵ֑נָּה

turn_in they(f)

Here, Wisdom implies that the naive person should turn aside and come to her house. If it would be helpful in your language, you could state this explicitly. Alternate translation: “let him leave his path and come to my house”

Note 4 topic: figures-of-speech / gendernotations

יָסֻ֣ר & לּֽ⁠וֹ

turn_in & for=him/it

Although him is masculine, here it refers to any naive person. If it would be helpful in your language, you could state this explicitly. Alternate translation: “let that person turn aside … to that person”
