7 He that correcteth a scorner getteth to himself shame: and he that reproveth a wicked man getteth himself a blot. 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 Reprove not a scorner, lest he hate thee: reprove a wise man, and he will love thee. 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.
