Proverbs 9:8-10
The Voice

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.
10 Reverence for the Eternal, the one True God, is the beginning of wisdom;
    true knowledge of the Holy One is the start of understanding.
