| 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. | |
| 9 | Give instruction to a wise man and he will become even wiser; Teach a righteous man and he will increase his learning. | Give instruction to a wise man, and he will be still wiser; teach a righteous man, and he will increase in learning. | Instruct the wise and they will be wiser still; teach the righteous and they will add to their learning. | |
