Proverbs 9:10

⁸  Reprove not a scorner, lest he hate thee: rebuke a wise man, and he will love thee.

⁹  Give instruction to a wise man, and he will be yet wiser: teach a just man, and he will increase in learning.

¹⁰  The fear of the LORD is the beginning of wisdom: and the knowledge of the holy is understanding.

¹¹  For by me thy days shall be multiplied, and the years of thy life shall be increased.

¹²  If thou be wise, thou shalt be wise for thyself: but if thou scornest, thou alone shalt bear it.
