Proverbs Chapter 29:9
If a wise person goes to court with a fool, the fool rages and scoffs, and there is no peace.
Be careful what you say to people who are angry and proud. Your words may seem beneficial to other people, but to those who 'know better than you', you may seem like someone who is trying to hurt them or control them. Only give advice if it is asked for, and be prepared to feel a certain amount of rejection when you do. Most people who believe that they already know everything will not accept anything that you say or do. They may be testing your resolve to be the person that you are and to get more ammunition to fire at you when you are at your most vulnerable state.
If you have to oppose them because they are doing something wrong, speak words of peace and have courage in the Lord. Let the Lord work through you to get them at their heart. Perhaps they will respond positively, but don't be surprised if they reject your words. They are rejecting the Spirit of God knocking upon their hearts. They may never respond to God's Grace and Love, but God will make sure that they will have a chance to change their behavior if He asks you to confront them.
Even evil people cannot stand againsty the Love, Power and Majesty of our Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ...
