Proverbs 9:7-9
The Voice

7 Whoever tries to discipline a scoffer should expect a hail of insults in return.
    Whoever tries to correct an evildoer is likely to get hurt in the process.
8 So do not correct a scoffer unless you are ready to be hated,
    but correct the wise and you will be loved.
9 Give instruction to the wise, and they will become wiser.
    Teach upstanding people, and they will learn even more.
