Proverbs 9:1-8 ▼

1 Wisdom has built her house. She has carved out her seven pillars.

2 She has prepared her meat. She has mixed her wine. She has set her table.

3 She has sent out her servant girls. She calls from the highest places in the city,

4 |Whoever is gullible turn in here!| She says to a person without sense,

5 |Come, eat my bread, and drink the wine I have mixed.

6 Stop being gullible and live. Start traveling the road to understanding.|

7 Whoever corrects a mocker receives abuse. Whoever warns a wicked person gets hurt.

8 Do not warn a mocker, or he will hate you. Warn a wise person, and he will love you.
