4 She says to those who are not wise,“Come in here, you foolish people!
5 Come and eat my food.And drink the wine I have prepared.
6 Stop your foolish ways, and you will live.Be a person of understanding.
7 “If you correct someone who makes fun of wisdom, you will get insulted.If you correct an evil person, you will get hurt.
8 Do not correct someone who makes fun of wisdom, or he will hate you.But correct a wise man, and he will love you.
9 Teach a wise man, and he will become even wiser.Teach a good man, and he will learn even more.
10 “Wisdom begins with respect for the Lord.And understanding begins with knowing God, the Holy One.
