Proverbs 9:1-9 - Wisdom's Banquet
1 Wisdom, hath builded her house, hath hewn out her seven pillars; 2 hath slaughtered her beasts, hath mingled her wine, hath even set in order her table; 3 hath sent forth her maidens, She crieth aloud, upon the tops of the heights of the city: 4 Whoso is simple, let him turn in hither, as for him that lacketh sense, she saith to him - 5 Come, feed on my food, and drink of the wine I have mingled; 6 Forsake the simple ones, and live, and advance in the way of understanding. 7 He that rebuketh a scoffer, getteth to himself contempt, and, he that reproveth a lawless man, getteth to himself his shame. 8 Do not reprove a scoffer, lest he hate thee, Reprove a wise man, and he will love thee. 9 Give to a wise man, and he will be wiser still, Inform a righteous man, and he will increase learning.
