Context of Proverbs 9:5
3She hath sent forth her maidens; She crieth upon the highest places of the city: 4Whoso is simple, let him turn in hither: As for him that is void of understanding, she saith to him, Come, eat ye of my bread, And drink of the wine which I have mingled. 6Leave off, ye simple ones, and live; And walk in the way of understanding. 7He that correcteth a scoffer getteth to himself reviling; And he that reproveth a wicked man getteth himself a blot.
