Proverbs 9:8

Wisdom Prolongs Life

⁷ He who corrects a scoffer gets dishonor for himself,
And he who reproves a wicked man gets insults for himself.
⁸ Do not reprove a scoffer, or he will hate you,
Reprove a wise man and he will love you.
⁹ Give instruction to a wise man and he will be still wiser,
Teach a righteous man and he will increase his learning.
