Proverbs 9:5-10 World English Bible (WEB)

5. “Come, eat some of my bread, Drink some of the wine which I have mixed!

6. Leave your simple ways, and live. Walk in the way of understanding.”

7. He who corrects a mocker invites insult. He who reproves a wicked man invites abuse.

8. Don’t reprove a scoffer, lest he hate you. Reprove a wise man, and he will love you.

9. Instruct a wise man, and he will be still wiser. Teach a righteous man, and he will increase in learning.

10. The fear of Yahweh is the beginning of wisdom. The knowledge of the Holy One is understanding.
