Proverbs 9:7-12 - 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.
10 The fear of Jehovah is the beginning of wisdom; and the knowledge of the holy is understanding. 11 For by Me your days shall be multiplied, and the years of your life shall be increased. 12 If you are wise, you shall be wise for yourself; but if you scorn, you alone shall bear it.
