3 She has sent out her maidens,
She cries out from the highest places of the city,

4 “Whoever^a is simple, let him turn in here!”

7 “He who corrects a scoffer gets shame for himself,
And he who rebukes a wicked man only harms himself.

8 ^aDo not correct a scoffer, lest he hate you;
^bRebuke a wise man, and he will love you. ‡
