Proverbs 9:7-9

Lexham English Bible

⁷ He who corrects a scoffer gains abuse for himself,
    and he who rebukes the wicked gets hurt.^[a]
8 Do not rebuke a scoffer, lest he hate you;
    rebuke the wise and he will love you.
⁹ Give to a wise one and he will become more wise;
    teach^[b] a righteous one and he will increase learning.
