NASB
"He who corrects a scoffer gets dishonor for himself, And he who reproves a wicked man gets insults for himself."
— Proverbs 9:7, NASB
“He that reproveth a scorner getteth to himself shame: and he that rebuketh a wicked man getteth himself a blot.”
“ He that correcteth a scoffer getteth to himself reviling; And he that reproveth a wicked man getteth himself a blot. ”
“He who corrects a mocker invites insult. He who reproves a wicked man invites abuse.”
“Whoever corrects a mocker is asking for insult; whoever reproves a wicked person receives abuse.”
“He that teacheth a scorner, doth an injury to himself; and he that rebuketh a wicked man, getteth himself a blot.”
“He who gives teaching to a man of pride gets shame for himself; he who says sharp words to a sinner gets a bad name.”
“He that reproveth a scorner getteth to himself shame: and he that rebuketh a wicked man getteth himself a blot.”
"Whoever is naive, let him turn in here!" To him who lacks understanding she says,
"Come, eat of my food And drink of the wine I have mixed.
"Forsake your folly and live, And proceed in the way of understanding."
He who corrects a scoffer gets dishonor for himself, And he who reproves a wicked man gets insults for himself.
Do not reprove a scoffer, or he will hate you, Reprove a wise man and he will love you.
Give instruction to a wise man and he will be still wiser, Teach a righteous man and he will increase his learning.
The fear of the LORD is the beginning of wisdom, And the knowledge of the Holy One is understanding.
