Proverbs 9:7-9
New American Bible (Revised Edition)
Miscellaneous Aphorisms
7 Whoever corrects the arrogant earns insults;
and whoever reproves the wicked incurs opprobrium.
8 Do not reprove the arrogant, lest they hate you;
reprove the wise, and they will love you.(A)
9 Instruct the wise, and they become still wiser;
teach the just, and they advance in learning.
