Proverbs 9:5-10 Common English Bible (CEB)

5. "Come, eat my food,and drink the wine I have mixed.

6. Abandon your simplistic ways and live;walk in the way of understanding."

7. Whoever instructs the cynic gets insulted;whoever corrects the wicked gets hurt.

8. Don’t correct the impudent, or they will hate you;correct the wise, and they will love you.

9. Teach the wise, and they will become wiser;inform the righteous, and their learning will increase.

10. The beginning of wisdom is the fear of the Lord;the knowledge of the holy one is understanding.
