3 She has sent out her young women, She cries out from the highest places of the city:
4 “Who is simple? Let him turn in here!” As for him who lacks heart, she says to him,
5 “Come, eat of my bread and drink of the wine I have mixed.”
6 Leave the simple ones and live, And walk in the way of understanding.
7 He who reproves a scoffer gets shame for himself, And he who rebukes a wrong one gets himself a blemish.
8 Do not reprove a scoffer, lest he hate you; Reprove a wise one, and he loves you.
9 Give instruction to a wise one, and he is wiser still; Teach a righteous one, and he increases in learning.
