Proverbs 9:8-11

⁸Reprove not a scoffer, lest he hate thee: Reprove 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 in learning.

¹⁰The fear of Jehovah is the beginning of wisdom; And the knowledge of the Holy One is understanding.

¹¹For by me thy days shall be multiplied, And the years of thy life shall be increased.
