4 Whosoever is simple, let him turn in here; as for him that lacketh lev (a heart of understanding), she saith to him,
5 Come, eat of my lechem, and drink of the yayin which I have mixed [Yn 6:53-54 OJBC].
6 Forsake the simple ways, and live; and go in the derech binah.
7 He that reproveth a letz (mocker) getteth to himself shame, and he that is a mochiach (reprover) of a wicked man getteth himself a blot stain.
8 Reprove not a letz, lest he hate thee; rebuke a chacham, and he will love thee.
9 Give instruction to a chacham, and he will be yet wiser; teach a tzaddik, and he will increase in learning.
10 The Yirat Hashem is the beginning of chochmah, and the da'as Kedoshim (knowledge of the Holy One) is binah (understanding).
