Proverbs 9:8

^aDo not reprove a scoffer, lest he hate you,

^bReprove a wise man and he will love you.

Proverbs 9:9

Give knowledge to a wise man and he will be still wiser,

Make a righteous man know it and he will ^aincrease his learning.

Better is reproof that is ^arevealed

Than love that is hidden.
