3She has sent out her maids; she calls out from the highest points of the city,
4“Who is naive? Let him turn aside here!” To the one lacking good sense she speaks.
5“Come, eat my food, and drink the wine I have mixed.
6Leave your naive actions and live; walk in the path of understanding.
7Whoever disciplines a mocker receives abuse, and whoever rebukes a wicked person receives insults.
8Do not reprove a mocker, or he will hate you; reprove a wise man, and he will love you.
9Give to a wise person, and he will become even wiser; teach a righteous person, and he will add to his learning.
10The fear of Yahweh is the beginning of wisdom, and the knowledge of the Holy One is understanding.
