Proverbs 9:7-12 - Wisdom Prolongs Life
7 He who corrects a scoffer gets himself reviling. And he who reproves a wicked man [gets] himself a bruise. 8 Reprove not a scoffer, lest he hate thee. Reprove a wise man, and he will love thee. 9 Give opportunity to a wise man, and he will be yet wiser. Teach a righteous man, and he will increase in learning.
10 The fear of LORD is the beginning of wisdom, and the knowledge of the Holy is understanding. 11 For by me thy days shall be multiplied, and the years of thy life shall be increased. 12 If thou are wise, thou are wise for thyself. And if thou scoff, thou alone shall bear it.
