Proverbs 9:8-10

Jubilee Bible 2000

⁸ Chasten not a scorner lest he hate thee; chasten a wise man, and he will love thee.

⁹ Give instruction to a wise man, and he will be yet wiser; teach a just man, and he will increase in learning.

¹⁰ The fear of the LORD is the beginning of wisdom, and the knowledge of the holy is understanding.
