4. “Whoever is simple, let him turn in here!” To him who lacks sense she says,
5. “Come, eat of my breadand drink of the wine I have mixed.
6. Leave your simple ways, and live, and walk in the way of insight.”
7. Whoever corrects a scoffer gets himself abuse,and he who reproves a wicked man incurs injury.
8. Do not reprove a scoffer, or he will hate you; reprove a wise man, and he will love you.
9. Give instruction to a wise man, and he will be still wiser;teach a righteous man, and he will increase in learning.
10. The fear of the Lord is the beginning of wisdom,and the knowledge of the Holy One is insight.
