7 He who reproves a scorner gets shame for himself,and he who rebukes a wicked man gets hurt.
8 Do not reprove a scorner, lest he hate you;rebuke a wise man, and he will love you.
9 Give instruction to a wise man, and he will be yet wiser;teach a just man, and he will increase in learning.
10 The fear of the Lord is the beginning of wisdom,and the knowledge of the Holy One is understanding.
11 For by me your days will be multiplied,and the years of your life will be increased.
12 If you are wise, you will be wise for yourself,but if you scorn, you alone will bear it.
13 A foolish woman is clamorous;she is simple, and knows nothing.
