New Testament

Proverbs 9:3-9 American Standard Version (ASV)

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.

9. Give instruction to a wise man, and he will be yet wiser: Teach a righteous man, and he will increase in learning.
