“Instruct a wise man, and he will be wiser still; teach a righteous man, and he will increase his learning.”
Proverbs 9:9 (BSB)
Context Reading
7He who corrects a mocker brings shame on himself; he who rebukes a wicked man taints himself. 8Do not rebuke a mocker, or he will hate you; rebuke a wise man, and he will love you. 9Instruct a wise man, and he will be wiser still; teach a righteous man, and he will increase his learning. 10The fear of the LORD is the beginning of wisdom, and knowledge of the Holy One is understanding. 11For through wisdom your days will be multiplied, and years will be added to your life.
