But he that sinneth against me wrongeth his own soul: all they that hate me love death.
Wisdom hath builded her house, she hath hewn out her seven pillars:
She hath killed her beasts; she hath mingled her wine; she hath also furnished her table.
She hath sent forth her maidens: she crieth upon the highest places of the city,
Whoso [is] simple, let him turn in hither: [as for] him that wanteth understanding, she saith to him,
Come, eat of my bread, and drink of the wine [which] I have mingled.
Forsake the foolish, and live; and go in the way of understanding.
He that reproveth a scorner getteth to himself shame: and he that rebuketh a wicked [man getteth] himself a blot.
Reprove not a scorner, lest he hate thee: rebuke a wise man, and he will love thee.
Give [instruction] to a wise [man], and he will be yet wiser: teach a just [man], and he will increase in learning.
