Proverbs 9:1-9 - Wisdom's Banquet
1 Wisdom has built her house; she has carved out her seven pillars; 2 she has killed her beasts; she has mixed her wine; she has also set her table. 3 She has sent out her young women; she cries upon the highest places of the city, 4 The simple one, let him turn in here. To one lacking heart, she says to him, 5 Come, eat of my bread and drink of the wine I have mixed. 6 Forsake the foolish and live; and go in the way of understanding. 7 One rebuking a scorner gets shame to himself; and one rebuking a wicked one gets himself a blemish. 8 Do not reprove a scorner, lest he hate you; give to a wise man, and he will love you. 9 Give to a wise one, and he will be still wiser; teach a just one, and he will increase in learning.
