People who aren't humble or teachable will cut you off - if you try to teach them. They do not seek wisdom nor welcome it when they hear it - and they'll start avoiding you, hardening their hearts against you. Wisdom often contains correction. Which is why many pastors stop sharing wisdom- they refuse to bring correction because it offends people and they will leave the church. So many pastors preach watered down sermons - sometimes void of truth - so people won't get upset and leave. "I'd rather preach truth to an audience of one than falsehoods to an audience of thousands".
"He that rebukes a man afterwards shall find more favour than he that flatters with the tongue "
"Give instruction to a wise man, and he will be yet wiser; teach a just man and he will increase in learning"
"A fool hates reproof"
"They that seek the Lord understand all things"
"Show me Your ways, O Lord, teach me Your paths. Lead me in Your truth"
