Wisdom Prolongs Life

⁷ One rebuking a scorner gets shame to himself; and one rebuking a wicked one gets himself a blemish. ⁸ Do not reprove a scorner, lest he hate you; give to a wise man, and he will love you. ⁹ Give to a wise one, and he will be still wiser; teach a just one, and he will increase in learning.
