Proverbs 9:8
Berean Standard Bible
Do not rebuke a mocker, or he will hate you; rebuke a wise man, and he will love you.
Context
6Leave your folly behind, and you will live;
walk in the way of understanding.” 7He who corrects a mocker brings shame on himself;
he who rebukes a wicked man taints himself. 8Do not rebuke a mocker, or he will hate you;
rebuke a wise man, and he will love you. 9Instruct a wise man, and he will be wiser still;
teach a righteous man, and he will increase his learning. 10The fear of the LORD is the beginning of wisdom,
and knowledge of the Holy One is understanding.
