Proverbs 9:5
Come, eat of my bread, And drink of the wine which I have mingled.
In context
2 She hath killed her beasts; she hath mingled her wine; She hath also furnished her table. 3 She hath sent forth her maidens: she crieth Upon the highest places of the city, 4 Whoso is simple, let him turn in hither: As for him that wanteth understanding, she saith to him, 5 Come, eat of my bread, And drink of the wine which I have mingled. 6 Forsake the foolish, and live; And go in the way of understanding.
7 He that reproveth a scorner getteth to himself shame: And he that rebuketh a wicked man getteth himself a blot. 8 Reprove not a scorner, lest he hate thee: Rebuke a wise man, and he will love thee.
