Proverbs 9:6-9

⁶Forsake folly, and live! And go forward in the way of understanding!

⁷“He who correcteth a scoffer Bringeth shame upon himself; And he who rebuketh the wicked Bringeth upon himself a stain.

⁸Rebuke not a scoffer, lest he hate thee; Rebuke a wise man, and he will love thee.

⁹Give instruction to a wise man, and he will be yet wiser; Teach a righteous man, and he will increase his learning.
