Proverbs 9:9-12

⁹Give thou occasion to a wise man; and wisdom shall be increased to him. Teach thou a just or rightwise man; and he shall hasten to take it.

¹⁰The beginning of wisdom is the dread of the Lord; and prudence is the knowing of saints.

¹¹For thy days shall be multiplied by me; and the years of life shall be increased to thee.

¹²If thou art wise, thou shalt be wise to thyself, and to thy neighbours. Forsooth if thou art a scorner, thou alone shalt bear evil.
