Popular Bible Verses from Proverbs 9

The [reverent] fear of the LORD [that is, worshiping Him and regarding Him as truly awesome] is the beginning and the preeminent part of wisdom [its starting point and its essence], And the knowledge of the Holy One is understanding and spiritual insight.

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. [Ps 141:5]

Give instruction to a wise man and he will become even wiser; Teach a righteous man and he will increase his learning.

For by me (wisdom from God) your days will be multiplied, And years of life shall be increased.

¶He who corrects and instructs a scoffer gets dishonor for himself, And he who rebukes a wicked man gets insults for himself.
