| 7 | The instructor of a scorner Is receiving for it -- shame, And a reprover of the wicked -- his blemish. | 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, Give reproof to the wise, and he loveth 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. | |
