'Wise Man' in the Bible
Do not correct a scoffer [who foolishly ridicules and takes no responsibility for his error] or he will hate you;Correct a wise man [who learns from his error], and he will love you.
Give instruction to a wise man and he will become even wiser;Teach a righteous man and he will increase his learning.
A wise man suspects danger and cautiously avoids evil,But the fool is arrogant and careless.
The wrath of a king is like a messenger of death,But a wise man will appease it.
A wise man scales the city [walls] of the mightyAnd brings down the stronghold in which they trust.
A wise man is strong,And a man of knowledge strengthens his power;
If a wise man has a controversy with a foolish and arrogant man,The foolish man [ignores logic and fairness and] only rages or laughs, and there is no peace (rest, agreement).
A [shortsighted] fool always loses his temper and displays his anger,But a wise man [uses self-control and] holds it back.
Many seek the ruler’s favor,But justice for man comes from the Lord.
