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.
