Proverbs 9:6-8

21st Century King James Version

⁶ Forsake the foolish and live, and go in the way of understanding.”

⁷ He that reproveth a scorner getteth for himself shame, and he that rebuketh a wicked man getteth himself a reproach.

⁸ Reprove not a scorner, lest he hate thee; rebuke a wise man, and he will love thee.
