Proverbs 9:8-10
New American Bible (Revised Edition)
8 Do not reprove the arrogant, lest they hate you;
reprove the wise, and they will love you.(A)
9 Instruct the wise, and they become still wiser;
teach the just, and they advance in learning.
10 The beginning of wisdom is fear of the Lord,
and knowledge of the Holy One is understanding.(B)
