The one who corrects a mocker
will bring dishonor on himself;
the one who rebukes a wicked man will get hurt.
Don’t rebuke a mocker, or he will hate you;
rebuke a wise man, and he will love you.
Instruct a wise man, and he will be wiser still;
teach a righteous man, and he will learn more.
Proverbs 9:7-9
I prune and trim the plants & trees around my house to make them healthier, more lush, and extend their lifespan. Like plants and trees, those who are wise and upright in character accept instruction, growing in the process, while the foolish and wicked only become worse.
