Proverbs 9:7-9

KJ2000(i) 7 He that reproves a scoffer gets for himself shame: and he that rebukes a wicked man gets himself injury. 8 Reprove not a scoffer, lest he hate you: rebuke a wise man, and he will love you. 9 Give instruction to a wise man, and he will be yet wiser: teach a just man, and he will increase in learning.
