Proverbs 9:9-11

Amplified Bible, Classic Edition

⁹ Give instruction to a wise man and he will be yet wiser; teach a righteous man (one upright and in right standing with God) and he will increase in learning.

¹⁰ The reverent and worshipful fear of the Lord is the beginning (the chief and choice part) of Wisdom, and the knowledge of the Holy One is insight and understanding.

¹¹ For by me [Wisdom from God] your days shall be multiplied, and the years of your life shall be increased.
