| 7 | He who corrects and instructs a scoffer gets dishonor for himself, And he who rebukes a wicked man gets insults for himself. | Whoever corrects a scoffer gets himself abuse, and he who reproves a wicked man incurs injury. | Whoever corrects a mocker invites insults; whoever rebukes the wicked incurs abuse. | |
| 8 | Do not correct a scoffer [who foolishly ridicules and takes no responsibility for his error] or he will hate you; Correct a wise man [who learns from his error], and he will love you. | Do not reprove a scoffer, or he will hate you; reprove a wise man, and he will love you. | Do not rebuke mockers or they will hate you; rebuke the wise and they will love you. | |
