Proverbs 9:4-16
4Whoso is simpleH6612, let him turn inH5493 hither: as for him that wantethH2638 understandingH3820, she saithH559 to him, 5ComeH3212, eatH3898 of my breadH3899, and drinkH8354 of the wineH3196 which I have mingledH4537. 6ForsakeH5800 the foolishH6612, and liveH2421; and goH833 in the wayH1870 of understandingH998. 7He that reprovethH3256 a scornerH3887 gettethH3947 to himself shameH7036: and he that rebukethH3198 a wickedH7563 man getteth himself a blotH3971. 8ReproveH3198 not a scornerH3887, lest he hateH8130 thee: rebukeH3198 a wise manH2450, and he will loveH157 thee. 9GiveH5414 instruction to a wiseH2450 man, and he will be yet wiserH2449: teachH3045 a justH6662 man, and he will increaseH3254 in learningH3948. 10The fearH3374 of YhwhH3068 is the beginningH8462 of wisdomH2451: and the knowledgeH1847 of the holyH6918 is understandingH998. 11For by me thy daysH3117 shall be multipliedH7235, and the yearsH8141 of thy lifeH2416 shall be increasedH3254. 12If thou be wiseH2449, thou shalt be wiseH2449 for thyself: but if thou scornestH3887, thou alone shalt bearH5375 it.
13A foolishH3687 womanH802 is clamorousH1993: she is simpleH6615, andH1077 knowethH3045 nothingH4100. 14For she sittethH3427 at the doorH6607 of her houseH1004, on a seatH3678 in the high placesH4791 of the cityH7176, 15To callH7121 passers-byH1870H5674 who go rightH3474 on their waysH734: 16Whoso is simpleH6612, let him turn inH5493 hither: and as for him that wantethH2638 understandingH3820, she saithH559 to him,
