The King James Version Bible

Proverbs 9:3-9

  1. She hath sent forth her maidens: she crieth upon the highest places of the city,

  2. Whoso is simple, let him turn in hither: as for him that wanteth understanding, she saith to him,

  3. Come, eat of my bread, and drink of the wine which I have mingled.

  4. Forsake the foolish, and live; and go in the way of understanding.

  5. He that reproveth a scorner getteth to himself shame: and he that rebuketh a wicked man getteth himself a blot.

  6. Reprove not a scorner, lest he hate thee: rebuke a wise man, and he will love thee.

  7. Give instruction to a wise man, and he will be yet wiser: teach a just man, and he will increase in learning.
