5 Come, eat of my food,and drink of the wine I have mixed!
6 Forsake foolishness that you may live;advance in the way of understanding.”
7 Whoever corrects the arrogant earns insults;and whoever reproves the wicked incurs opprobrium.
8 Do not reprove the arrogant, lest they hate you;reprove the wise, and they will love you.
9 Instruct the wise, and they become still wiser;teach the just, and they advance in learning.
10 The beginning of wisdom is fear of the Lord,and knowledge of the Holy One is understanding.
11 For by me your days will be multipliedand the years of your life increased.
