Proverbs 9:7-9

Common English Bible

⁷ Whoever instructs the cynic gets insulted;
    whoever corrects the wicked gets hurt.
⁸ Don’t correct the impudent, or they will hate you;
    correct the wise, and they will love you.
⁹ Teach the wise, and they will become wiser;
    inform the righteous, and their learning will increase.
