Sunday in Proverbs

Proverbs, Chapter 9

 1 Wisdom has built her house;
      she has carved its seven columns.
 2 She has prepared a great banquet,
      mixed the wines, and set the table.
 3 She has sent her servants to invite everyone to come.
      She calls out from the heights overlooking the city.
 4 “Come in with me,” she urges the simple.
      To those who lack good judgment, she says,
 5 “Come, eat my food,
      and drink the wine I have mixed.
 6 Leave your simple ways behind, and begin to live;
      learn to use good judgment.”

 7 Anyone who rebukes a mocker will get an insult in return.
      Anyone who corrects the wicked will get hurt.
 8 So don’t bother correcting mockers;
      they will only hate you.
   But correct the wise,
      and they will love you.

NLT
