Context of Proverbs 9:5
3She hath sent forth her maidens: she crieth upon the highest places of the city, 4Whoever is simple, let him turn in here: as for him that lacketh understanding, she saith to him, Come, eat of my bread, and drink of the wine which I have mixed. 6Forsake the foolish, and live; and go in the way of understanding. 7He that reproveth a scorner getteth to himself shame: and he that rebuketh a wicked man getteth himself a blot.
