Proverbs 9:1-9

¹Wisdom hath builded her house, she hath hewn out her seven pillars;

²She hath prepared her meat, she hath mingled her wine; she hath also furnished her table.

³She hath sent forth her maidens, she calleth, upon the highest places of the city:

⁴'Whoso is thoughtless, let him turn in hither'; as for him that lacketh understanding, she saith to him:

⁵'Come, eat of my bread, and drink of the wine which I have mingled.

⁶Forsake all thoughtlessness, and live; and walk in the way of understanding.

⁷He that correcteth a scorner getteth to himself shame, and he that reproveth a wicked man, it becometh unto him a blot.

⁸Reprove not a scorner, lest he hate thee; reprove a wise man, and he will love thee.

⁹Give to a wise man, and he will be yet wiser; teach a righteous man, and he will increase in learning.
