Proverbs 9:8 CPDV

⁶  Leave behind childishness. And live and walk by the ways of prudence.'

⁷  Whoever teaches a mocker causes injury to himself. And whoever argues with the impious produces a blemish on himself.

⁸  Do not be willing to argue with a mocker, lest he hate you. Dispute with the wise, and he will love you.

⁹  Present an opportunity to the wise, and wisdom shall be added to him. Teach the just, and he will hurry to receive it.

¹⁰  The fear of the Lord is the beginning of wisdom, and knowledge of holiness is prudence.
