New Testament

Proverbs 9:8-14 International Children’s Bible (ICB)

8. Do not correct someone who makes fun of wisdom, or he will hate you.But correct a wise man, and he will love you.

9. Teach a wise man, and he will become even wiser.Teach a good man, and he will learn even more.

10. “Wisdom begins with respect for the Lord.And understanding begins with knowing God, the Holy One.

11. If you live wisely, you will live a long time.Wisdom will add years to your life.

12. The wise person is rewarded by his wisdom.But a person who makes fun of wisdom will suffer for it.”

13. Foolishness is like a loud woman.She does not have wisdom or knowledge.

14. She sits at the door of her house.It is at the highest place in the city.
