"Whoever corrects a mocker is asking for insult; whoever reproves a wicked person receives abuse."
— Proverbs 9:7, NET Bible
“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.”
“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 those who lack understanding, she has said,
“Come, eat some of my food, and drink some of the wine I have mixed.
Abandon your foolish ways so that you may live, and proceed in the way of understanding.”
Whoever corrects a mocker is asking for insult; whoever reproves a wicked person receives abuse.
Do not reprove a mocker or he will hate you; reprove a wise person and he will love you.
Give instruction to a wise person, and he will become wiser still; teach a righteous person and he will add to his learning.
The beginning of wisdom is to fear the LORD, and acknowledging the Holy One is understanding.
