Proverbs 9:6-8
New Living Translation

6 Leave your simple ways behind, and begin to live;
    learn to use good judgment.”

7 Anyone who rebukes a mocker will get an insult in return.
    Anyone who corrects the wicked will get hurt.
8 So don’t bother correcting mockers;
    they will only hate you.
But correct the wise,
    and they will love you.
