Proverbs 9:7-10

7The one who corrects a mocker will bring abuse on himself; the one who rebukes the wicked will get hurt.

8Don’t rebuke a mocker, or he will hate you; rebuke the wise, and he will love you.

9Instruct the wise, and he will be wiser still; teach the righteous, and he will learn more.

10“The fear of the Lord is the beginning of wisdom, and the knowledge of the Holy One is understanding.
