Proverbs 9:1-10

The Way of Wisdom 1Wisdom has built her house;
   she has hewn her seven pillars. 2She has slaughtered her beasts; she has mixed her wine;
   she has also set her table. 3She has sent out her young women to call
   from the highest places in the town, 4"Whoever is simple, let him turn in here!"
   To him who lacks sense she says, 5"Come, eat of my bread
   and drink of the wine I have mixed. 6Leave your simple ways,Or Leave the company of the simple and live,
   and walk in the way of insight."

7Whoever corrects a scoffer gets himself abuse,
   and he who reproves a wicked man incurs injury. 8Do not reprove a scoffer, or he will hate you;
   reprove a wise man, and he will love you. 9Give instructionHebrew lacks instruction to a wise man, and he will be still wiser;
   teach a righteous man, and he will increase in learning. 10The fear of the LORD is the beginning of wisdom,
   and the knowledge of the Holy One is insight.
