4 Whosoever is simple, let him turn in here: as for him that lacks understanding, she says to him,
5 Come, eat of my bread, and drink of the wine which I have mixed.
6 Forsake the foolish, and live; and go in the way of understanding.
7 He that reproves a scoffer gets for himself shame: and he that rebukes a wicked man gets himself injury.
8 Reprove not a scoffer, lest he hate you: rebuke a wise man, and he will love you.
9 Give instruction to a wise man, and he will be yet wiser: teach a just man, and he will increase in learning.
10 The fear of the LORD is the beginning of wisdom: and the knowledge of the Holy One is understanding.
