Proverbs 9:8-10

WEB^{(i) 8} Don’t reprove a scoffer, lest he hate you. Reprove a wise person, and he will love you. ⁹ Instruct a wise person, and he will be still wiser. Teach a righteous person, and he will increase in learning. ¹⁰ The fear of Yahweh is the beginning of wisdom. The knowledge of the Holy One is understanding.
