7. He that correcteth a scoffer getteth to himself reviling; And he that reproveth a wicked man getteth himself a blot.
8. Reprove not a scoffer, lest he hate thee: Reprove a wise man, and he will love thee.
9. Give instruction to a wise man, and he will be yet wiser: Teach a righteous man, and he will increase in learning.
10. The fear of Jehovah is the beginning of wisdom; And the knowledge of the Holy One is understanding.
11. For by me thy days shall be multiplied, And the years of thy life shall be increased.
