Proverbs 9:7-9
Revised Standard Version
General Maxims
7 He who corrects a scoffer gets himself abuse,
and he who reproves a wicked man incurs injury.
8 Do not reprove a scoffer, or he will hate you;
reprove a wise man, and he will love you.
9 Give instruction[a] to a wise man, and he will be still wiser;
teach a righteous man and he will increase in learning.
