Proverbs 9:2-9

²She hath killed her cattle; she hath mingled her wine; she hath also set in order her table.

³She hath sent forth her maidens: she inviteth her guests upon the top of the highest places of the town.

⁴Whoso is simple, let him turn in hither: as for him that is void of sense, she saith to him,

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

⁶Forsake simplicity, and live; and go onward on the way of understanding.

⁷He that correcteth a scorner acquireth for himself abuse; and he that reproveth the wicked getteth himself a blemish.

⁸Do not correct a scorner, lest he hate thee: reprove a wise man, and he will love thee.

⁹Give to the wise instruction, and he will become yet wiser: impart knowledge to the righteous, and he will increase his information.
