7 Whoever teaches a mocker causes injury to himself. And whoever argues with the impious produces a blemish on 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 be willing to argue with a mocker, lest he hate you. Dispute with the wise, 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.
