Proverbs 9:6-8

Expanded Bible

⁶Stop your ·foolish [naive; immature; simpleminded] ways, and you will live;
take the road of understanding.

⁷“If you ·correct [instruct; discipline] ·someone who makes fun of wisdom [a mocker], you will be insulted.
If you correct an evil person, you will ·get hurt [^Lbe blemished].
⁸Do not correct ·those who make fun of wisdom [mockers], or they will hate you.
But correct the wise, and they will love you.
