Proverbs 9:6-8
Living Bible

6 Leave behind your foolishness and begin to live; learn how to be wise.”

7-8 If you rebuke a mocker, you will only get a smart retort; yes, he will snarl at you. So don’t bother with him; he will only hate you for trying to help him. But a wise man, when rebuked, will love you all the more.
