Proverbs 9:7-9
Common English Bible

Wise advice

7 Whoever instructs the cynic gets insulted;
    whoever corrects the wicked gets hurt.
8 Don’t correct the impudent, or they will hate you;
    correct the wise, and they will love you.
9 Teach the wise, and they will become wiser;
    inform the righteous, and their learning will increase.
