Proverbs 9:1-8 ▼

1 Wisdom hath builded her house; She hath hewn out her seven pillars:

2 She hath killed her beasts; she hath mingled her wine; She hath also furnished her table:

3 She hath sent forth her maidens; She crieth upon the highest places of the city:

4 Whoso is simple, let him turn in hither: As for him that is void of understanding, she saith to him,

5 Come, eat ye of my bread, And drink of the wine which I have mingled.

6 Leave off, ye simple ones, and live; And walk in the way of understanding.

7 He that correcteth a scoffer getteth to himself reviling; And he that reproveth a wicked man getteth himself a blot.

8 Reprove not a scoffer, lest he hate thee: Reprove a wise man, and he will love thee.
