Bible in Basic English
"Come, take of my bread, and of my wine which is mixed."
— Proverbs 9:5, Bible in Basic English
She has put her fat beasts to death; her wine is mixed, her table is ready.
She has sent out her women-servants; her voice goes out to the highest places of the town, saying,
Whoever is simple, let him come in here; and to him who has no sense, she says:
Come, take of my bread, and of my wine which is mixed.
Give up the simple ones and have life, and go in the way of knowledge.
He who gives teaching to a man of pride gets shame for himself; he who says sharp words to a sinner gets a bad name.
Do not say sharp words to a man of pride, or he will have hate for you; make them clear to a wise man, and you will be dear to him.
