Proverbs 9:7-9

Jubilee Bible 2000

⁷ He that chastens a scorner brings shame unto himself, and he that chastens a wicked man brings himself a blot.

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.
