Proverbs 9:8

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.

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.
