| 3[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 3She has sent out her young women, while calling out from the heights of the city, |
| 4[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 4"Let whoever is naïve, turn in here." To anyone lacking sense, she says, |
| 5[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 5"Come! Eat my food, and drink the wine that I have mixed. |
| 6[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 6Leave your naïve ways, and live. Walk in the path of understanding." |
| 7[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 7Whoever corrects a mocker invites only insult, and whoever rebukes the wicked will himself become stained. |
| 8[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 8Don't rebuke a mocker or he will hate you. Rebuke a wise person, and he will love you. |
