Proverbs 9:8-10

EasyEnglish Bible

⁸ So do not warn proud people. They will only hate you.

But if you warn a wise person, he will love you. ⁹ If you teach a wise person, he will become even more wise. If you teach a righteous person, he will learn whatever you tell him.

¹⁰ If you want to be wise in the way that you live, first you must respect the Lord with fear. If you know God, the Holy One, you will understand what is right.
