3 She has sent out her maidens,She cries out from the highest places of the city,
4 “Whoever is simple, let him turn in here!”As for him who lacks understanding, she says to him,
5 “Come, eat of my breadAnd drink of the wine I have mixed.
6 Forsake foolishness and live,And go in the way of understanding.
7 “He who corrects a scoffer gets shame for himself,And he who rebukes a wicked man only harms himself.
8 Do not correct 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 still wiser;Teach a just man, and he will increase in learning.
