Proverbs 9:1-8 ▼

1 Wisdom has built her house; she has carved out its seven pillars.

2 She has prepared her meat, she has mixed her wine; she also has arranged her table.

3 She has sent out her female servants; she calls out on the highest places of the city.

4 Whoever is naive, let him turn in here,| she says to those who lack understanding.

5 Come, eat some of my food, and drink some of the wine I have mixed.

6 Abandon your foolish ways so that you may live, and proceed in the way of understanding.|

7 Whoever corrects a mocker is asking for insult; whoever reproves a wicked person receives abuse.

8 Do not reprove a mocker or he will hate you; reprove a wise person and he will love you.
