Proverbs 9:2-7 English Standard Version (ESV)

2. She has slaughtered her beasts; she has mixed her wine;she has also set her table.

3. She has sent out her young women to callfrom the highest places in the town,

4. “Whoever is simple, let him turn in here!” To him who lacks sense she says,

5. “Come, eat of my breadand drink of the wine I have mixed.

6. Leave your simple ways, and live, and walk in the way of insight.”

7. Whoever corrects a scoffer gets himself abuse,and he who reproves a wicked man incurs injury.
