3 She has sent her servant women to call out from the highest place in the town:
4 “Come in, ignorant people!” And to the foolish she says,
5 “Come, eat my food and drink the wine that I have mixed.
6 Leave the company of ignorant people, and live. Follow the way of knowledge.”
7 If you correct conceited people, you will only be insulted. If you reprimand evil people, you will only get hurt.
8 Never correct conceited people; they will hate you for it. But if you correct the wise, they will respect you.
9 Anything you say to the wise will make them wiser. Whatever you tell the righteous will add to their knowledge.
