Thematic Bible: The time when the wise are instructed

He who corrects a scoffer gets dishonor for himself, And he who reproves a wicked man gets insults for himself. Do not reprove a scoffer, or he will hate you, Reprove a wise man and he will love you. Give instruction to a wise man and he will be still wiser, Teach a righteous man and he will increase his learning. read more.
The fear of the LORD is the beginning of wisdom, And the knowledge of the Holy One is understanding.

When the scoffer is punished, the naive becomes wise;
But when the wise is instructed, he receives knowledge.
