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 scorner getteth to himself shame: and he that reproveth a wicked man getteth himself a blot.
