Proverbs 9:7-9

21st Century King James Version

⁷ He that reproveth a scorner getteth for himself shame, and he that rebuketh a wicked man getteth himself a reproach.

⁸ Reprove not a scorner, lest he hate thee; rebuke 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.
