Proverbs 9:6
World English Bible (WEB)
Leave your simple ways, and live. Walk in the way of understanding.”
In context
4 “Whoever is simple, let him turn in here!” As for him who is void of understanding, she says to him,
5 “Come, eat some of my bread, Drink some of the wine which I have mixed!
6 Leave your simple ways, and live. Walk in the way of understanding.”
7 One who corrects a mocker invites insult. One who reproves a wicked man invites abuse.
8 Don’t reprove a scoffer, lest he hate you. Reprove a wise person, and he will love you.
