Proverbs 9:8 WEB

⁶  Leave your simple ways, and live. Walk in the way of understanding.'

⁷  He who corrects a mocker invites insult. He who reproves a wicked man invites abuse.

⁸  Don't reprove a scoffer, lest he hate you. Reprove a wise man, and he will love you.

⁹  Instruct a wise man, and he will be still wiser. Teach a righteous man, and he will increase in learning.

¹⁰  The fear of Yahweh is the beginning of wisdom. The knowledge of the Holy One is understanding.
