v8
Reprove not a scorner, lest he hate thee: rebuke a wise man, and he will love thee.
Often when people correct or criticize somebody, they also have a problem at the same time, or a problem in the way they're finding fault.
When that happens to me, it's tempting for me to respond unlovingly.
That's what a scorner does, but I should be a wise man instead. Even if my reprover has problems too, I can humbly examine myself and learn something from it that I can do better.
Application
v9Give [instruction] to a wise [man], and he will be yet wiser: teach a just [man], and he will increase in learning.
I'll be teachable.
