⁸ Do not rebuke a mocker, or he will hate you; rebuke a wise man, and he will love you.

⁹ Instruct a wise man, and he will be wiser still; teach a righteous man, and he will increase his learning.

¹⁰ The fear of the LORD is the beginning of wisdom, and knowledge of the Holy One is understanding.

¹¹ For through wisdom your days will be multiplied, and years will be added to your life.

¹² If you are wise, you are wise to your own advantage; but if you scoff, you alone will bear the consequences.
