4 “Whoever is simple, let him turn in here!” she says to him who lacks judgment.
5 “Come, eat my bread and drink the wine I have mixed.
6 Leave your folly behind, and you will live; walk in the way of understanding.”
7 He who corrects a mocker brings shame on himself; he who rebukes a wicked man taints himself.

9 Instruct a wise man, and he will be wiser still; teach a righteous man, and he will increase his learning.
