The Scriptures 1998

Proverbs 9:2-8 The Scriptures 1998 (ISR98)

2. She has slaughtered her meat, She has mixed her wine, She has also prepared her table.

3. She has sent out her young women, She cries out from the highest places of the city:

4. “Who is simple? Let him turn in here!” As for him who lacks heart, she says to him,

5. “Come, eat of my bread and drink of the wine I have mixed.”

6. Leave the simple ones and live, And walk in the way of understanding.

7. He who reproves a scoffer gets shame for himself, And he who rebukes a wrong one gets himself a blemish.

8. Do not reprove a scoffer, lest he hate you; Reprove a wise one, and he loves you.
