In context
3 hath sent forth her maidens, She crieth aloud, upon the tops of the heights of the city:
4 Whoso is simple, let him turn in hither, as for him that lacketh sense, she saith to him—
5 Come, feed on my food, and drink of the wine I have mingled;
6 Forsake the simple ones, and live, and advance in the way of understanding.
7 He that rebuketh a scoffer, getteth to himself contempt, and, he that reproveth a lawless man, [getteth to himself] his shame.
8 Do not reprove a scoffer, lest he hate thee, Reprove a wise man, and he will love thee.
9 Give to a wise man, and he will be wiser still, Inform a righteous man, and he will increase learning.
