Proverbs 9:1-9 - Wisdom's Banquet

¹ Wisdom has built her house; she has hewn her seven pillars. ² She has slaughtered her slaughtering, mixed her wine, [and] also set her table. 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.
