Proverbs 9:6-8

Good News Translation

⁶ Leave the company of ignorant people, and live. Follow the way of knowledge.”

⁷ If you correct conceited people, you will only be insulted. If you reprimand evil people, you will only get hurt. ⁸ Never correct conceited people; they will hate you for it. But if you correct the wise, they will respect you.
