Proverbs 9:7-9
Darby Translation

7 He that instructeth a scorner getteth to himself shame; and he that reproveth a wicked [man] [getteth] to himself a blot.

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

9 Impart to a wise [man], and he will become yet wiser; teach a righteous [man], and he will increase learning.
