3. She has sent her servant girls, she calls upon the wings of the high places of town,
4. “Whoever is simple, let him turn here.” As for the one who lacks sense, she says to him,
5. “Come, eat with my bread; drink with the wine I have mixed.
6. Lay aside simplicity and live; walk in the way of understanding.”
7. He who corrects a scoffer gains abuse for himself, and he who rebukes the wicked gets hurt.
8. Do not rebuke a scoffer, lest he hate you; rebuke the wise and he will love you.
9. Give to a wise one and he will become more wise; teach a righteous one and he will increase learning.
10. The start of wisdom is fear of Yahweh, and knowledge of the Holy One, insight.
11. For by me your days shall increase, and years of life shall multiply for you.
