Proverbs 9:9-12

New International Version

⁹ Instruct the wise and they will be wiser still;
    teach the righteous and they will add to their learning.^(A)

¹⁰ The fear of the Lord^(B) is the beginning of wisdom,
    and knowledge of the Holy One^(C) is understanding.^(D)
11 For through wisdom^[a] your days will be many,
    and years will be added to your life.^(E)
12 If you are wise, your wisdom will reward you;
    if you are a mocker, you alone will suffer.
