Proverbs 9:8, 13-18

Proverbs 9:8 NCV

Do not correct those who make fun of wisdom, or they will hate you. But correct the wise, and they will love you.

Proverbs 9:13-18 NCV

Foolishness is like a loud woman; she does not have wisdom or knowledge. She sits at the door of her house at the highest place in the city. She calls out to those who are passing by, who are going along, minding their own business. She says to those who are uneducated, “Come in here, you foolish people! Stolen water is sweeter, and food eaten in secret tastes better.” But these people don’t know that everyone who goes there dies, that her guests end up deep in the grave.
