Wisdom Prolongs Life

⁷ Whoever corrects a mocker invites only insult, 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. ⁹ Counsel a wise man, and he will be wiser still; teach a righteous man, and he will add to his learning.
