6. Leave off, ye simple ones, and live; and walk in the way of understanding.
7. He that correcteth a scorner getteth to himself shame: and he that reproveth a wicked man getteth himself a blot.
8. Reprove not a scorner, 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 the LORD 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.
