Proverbs 9:5-11 King James Version (KJV)

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

6. Forsake the foolish, and live; and go in the way of understanding.

7. He that reproveth a scorner getteth to himself shame: and he that rebuketh a wicked man getteth himself a blot.

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

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

10. The fear of the Lord is the beginning of wisdom: and the knowledge of the holy is understanding.

11. For by me thy days shall be multiplied, and the years of thy life shall be increased.
