5. ‘Come, eat my foodand drink the wine I have mixed.
6. Leave your simple ways and you will live;walk in the way of insight.’
7. Whoever corrects a mocker invites insults;whoever rebukes the wicked incurs abuse.
8. Do not rebuke mockers or they will hate you;rebuke the wise and they will love you.
9. Instruct the wise and they will be wiser still;teach the righteous and they will add to their learning.
10. The fear of the Lord is the beginning of wisdom,and knowledge of the Holy One is understanding.
