"Don't reprove a scoffer, lest he hate you. Reprove a wise man, and he will love you."
— Proverbs 9:8, World English Bible
“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. ”
“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 some of my bread, Drink some of the wine which I have mixed!
Leave your simple ways, and live. Walk in the way of understanding."
He who corrects a mocker invites insult. He who reproves a wicked man invites abuse.
Don't reprove a scoffer, lest he hate you. Reprove a wise man, and he will love you.
Instruct a wise man, and he will be still wiser. Teach a righteous man, and he will increase in learning.
The fear of Yahweh is the beginning of wisdom. The knowledge of the Holy One is understanding.
For by me your days will be multiplied. The years of your life will be increased.
