Proverbs 9:5 - Forerunner Commentary

Proverbs 9:5

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!”
As for him who lacks understanding, she says to him,

5 “Come,^a eat of my bread
And drink of the wine I have mixed.

6 Forsake foolishness and live,
And go in the way of understanding.

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.
