Proverbs 9:9-12

9Give instruction to a wise man and he will be still wiser, Teach a righteous man and he will 1increase his learning.10The 2fear of the Lord is the beginning of wisdom, And the knowledge of the Holy One is understanding.11For 3by me your days will be multiplied, And years of life will be added to you.12If you are wise, you are wise 4for yourself, And if you 5scoff, you alone will bear it.
