Proverbs 9:6-8

New Life Version

⁶ Turn from your foolish way, and live. Walk in the way of understanding.”

⁷ He who speaks strong words to the man who laughs at the truth brings shame upon himself. He who speaks strong words to a sinful man gets hurt. ⁸ Do not speak strong words to a man who laughs at the truth, or he will hate you. Speak strong words to a wise man, and he will love you.
