Proverbs 9:1-9 - Wisdom's Banquet

¹ Wisdom has built her house;
she has carved out her seven pillars.
² She has prepared her meat; she has mixed her wine;
she has also set her table.
³ She has sent out her female servants;
she calls out from the highest points of the city:
⁴ “Whoever is inexperienced, enter here!”
To the one who lacks sense, she says,
⁵ “Come, eat my bread,
and drink the wine I have mixed.
⁶ Leave inexperience behind, and you will live;
pursue the way of understanding.
⁷ The one who corrects a mocker
will bring dishonor on himself;
the one who rebukes a wicked man will get hurt.
⁸ Don’t rebuke a mocker, or he will hate you;
rebuke a wise man, and he will love you.
⁹ Instruct a wise man, and he will be wiser still;
teach a righteous man, and he will learn more.
