The King James Version Bible

Proverbs 9:7-9

  1. He that reproveth a scorner getteth to himself shame: and he that rebuketh a wicked man getteth himself a blot.

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

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