Proverbs 9:4: Whoso is simple, let him turn in hither: as for him that wanteth understanding, she saith to him,
Proverbs 9:5: Come, eat of my bread, and drink of the wine which I have mingled.
Proverbs 9:6: Forsake the foolish, and live; and go in the way of understanding.
Proverbs 9:7: He that reproveth a scorner getteth to himself shame: and he that rebuketh a wicked man getteth himself a blot.
Proverbs 9:8: Reprove not a scorner, lest he hate thee: rebuke a wise man, and he will love thee.
Proverbs 9:9: Give instruction to a wise man, and he will be yet wiser: teach a just man, and he will increase in learning.
Proverbs 9:10: The fear of the LORD is the beginning of wisdom: and the knowledge of the holy is understanding.

Proverbs 9:14: For she sitteth at the door of her house, on a seat in the high places of the city,
Proverbs 9:15: To call passengers who go right on their ways:
Proverbs 9:16: Whoso is simple, let him turn in hither: and as for him that wanteth understanding, she saith to him,
Proverbs 9:17: Stolen waters are sweet, and bread eaten in secret is pleasant.
