Proverbs 9:8-10

21st Century King James Version

⁸ Reprove not a scorner, lest he hate thee; rebuke a wise man, and he will love thee.

⁹ Give instruction to a wise man, and he will be yet wiser; teach a just man, and he will increase in learning.

¹⁰ The fear of the Lord is the beginning of wisdom, and the knowledge of the holy is understanding.
