4 ‘Let all who are simple come to my house!’To those who have no sense she says,
5 ‘Come, eat my foodand drink the wine I have mixed.
6 Leave your simple ways and you will live;walk in the way of insight.’
7 Whoever corrects a mocker invites insults;whoever rebukes the wicked incurs abuse.
8 Do not rebuke mockers or they will hate you;rebuke the wise and they will love you.
9 Instruct the wise and they will be wiser still;teach the righteous and they will add to their learning.
10 The fear of the Lord is the beginning of wisdom,and knowledge of the Holy One is understanding.
