4 “Whoever is simple, let him turn here.” As for the one who lacks sense, she says to him,
5 “Come, eat with my bread; drink with the wine I have mixed.
6 Lay aside simplicity and live; walk in the way of understanding.”
7 He who corrects a scoffer gains abuse for himself, and he who rebukes the wicked gets hurt.
8 Do not rebuke a scoffer, lest he hate you; rebuke the wise and he will love you.
9 Give to a wise one and he will become more wise; teach a righteous one and he will increase learning.
10 The start of wisdom is fear of Yahweh, and knowledge of the Holy One, insight.
