Proverbs 9:8-10

American Standard Version

⁸ Reprove not a scoffer, lest he hate thee:
Reprove a wise man, and he will love thee.
⁹ Give instruction to a wise man, and he will be yet wiser:
Teach a righteous man, and he will increase in learning.
¹⁰ The fear of Jehovah is the beginning of wisdom;
And the knowledge of the Holy One is understanding.
