NASB
"Do not reprove a scoffer, or he will hate you, Reprove a wise man and he will love you."
— Proverbs 9:8, NASB
“Reprove not a scorner, lest he hate thee: rebuke a wise man, and he will love thee.”
“Reprove not a scoffer, lest he hate thee: Reprove a wise man, and he will love thee. ”
“Don't reprove a scoffer, lest he hate you. Reprove a wise man, and he will love you.”
“Do not reprove a mocker or he will hate you; reprove a wise person and he will love you.”
“Rebuke not a scorner, lest he hate thee. Rebuke a wise man, and he will love thee.”
“Do not say sharp words to a man of pride, or he will have hate for you; make them clear to a wise man, and you will be dear to him.”
“Reprove not a scorner, lest he hate thee: rebuke a wise man, and he will love thee.”
"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.
For by me your days will be multiplied, And years of life will be added to you.
