5. “Come, eat some of my food,and drink some of the wine I have mixed.
6. Abandon your foolish ways so that you may live,and proceed in the way of understanding.”
7. Whoever corrects a mocker is asking for insult;whoever reproves a wicked person receives abuse.
8. Do not reprove a mocker or he will hate you;reprove a wise person and he will love you.
9. Give instruction to a wise person, and he will become wiser still;teach a righteous person and he will add to his learning.
10. The beginning of wisdom is to fear the Lord,and acknowledging the Holy One is understanding.
