Proverbs 9:9 BBE

⁷  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.

⁸  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.

⁹  Give teaching to a wise man, and he will become wiser; give training to an upright man, and his learning will be increased.

¹⁰  The fear of the Lord is the start of wisdom, and the knowledge of the Holy One gives a wise mind

¹¹  For by me your days will be increased, and the years of your life will be long.
