Proverbs 9:4-10

4 aWhoever is simple, let him turn in here!”
bTo him who lacks sense she says,
5Come, ceat of my bread
and ddrink of ethe wine I have mixed.
6Leave fyour simple ways,
Or  Leave the company of the simple
and hlive,
iand walk in the way of insight.”
7 Whoever corrects a scoffer gets himself abuse,
and he who reproves a wicked man incurs injury.
8 jDo not reprove a scoffer, or he will hate you;
kreprove a wise man, and he will love you.
9Give instruction
Hebrew lacks  instruction
to a wise man, and he will be mstill wiser;
teach a righteous man, and he will nincrease in learning.
10 oThe fear of the Lord is the beginning of wisdom,
and pthe knowledge of the Holy One is insight.
