Proverbs 9:6-8

International Standard Version

⁶ Leave your naïve ways, and live.
    Walk in the path of understanding.”

⁷ Whoever corrects a mocker invites only insult,^[a]
    and whoever rebukes the wicked will himself become stained.
⁸ Don’t rebuke a mocker or he will hate you.
    Rebuke a wise person, and he will love you.
