Proverbs 9 (KJV)

6 Forsake (abandon) the foolish, and live; and go in the way of understanding.

8 Reprove (scold) not a scorner (unworthy person), lest he hate thee: rebuke (correct) a wise man, and he will love thee.

9 Give instruction to a wise man, and he will be yet wiser: teach a just man, and he will increase in learning.

10 The fear of the Lord is the beginning of wisdom: and the knowledge of the holy is understanding.
