Proverbs 9:7-9 NKJV — “He who corrects a scoffer gets shame for himself,

And he who rebukes a wicked man only harms himself. Do not correct a scoffer, lest he hate you;

Rebuke a wise man, and he will love you. Give instruction to a wise man, and he will be still wiser;

Teach a just man, and he will increase in learning.
