Proverbs 9:7-12

7He who correctsH3256 a mockerH3887 bringsH3947 shameH7036 on himself; he who rebukesH3198 a wickedH7563 man taints himselfH3971.8Do notH408 rebukeH3198 a mockerH3887, orH6435 he will hate youH8130; rebukeH3198 a wiseH2450 man, and he will love youH157.9InstructH5414 a wise manH2450, and he will be wiserH2449 stillH5750; teachH3045 a righteous manH6662, and he will increaseH3254 his learningH3948.

10The fearH3374 of the LORDH3068 is the beginningH8462 of wisdomH2451,and knowledgeH1847 of the Holy OneH6918 is understandingH998.11ForH3588 through wisdom1 your daysH3117 will be multipliedH7235,and yearsH8141 will be addedH3254 to your lifeH2416.12IfH518 you are wiseH2449, you are wiseH2449 to your own advantage;but if you scoffH3887, you aloneH905 will bearH5375 the consequences.
