Proverbs 9:8

Wisdom Prolongs Life

⁷ He who gives teaching to a man of pride gets shame for himself; he who says sharp words to a sinner gets a bad name. ⁸ Do not say sharp words to a man of pride, or he will have hate for you; make them clear to a wise man, and you will be dear to him. ⁹ Give teaching to a wise man, and he will become wiser; give training to an upright man, and his learning will be increased.
