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