Corrige al insolente y malvado,
y sólo lograrás que te insulte y ofenda.

Reprende al insolente y te ganarás su odio;
corrige al sabio y te ganarás su aprecio.

Dale al sabio y se hará más sabio;
enseña al hombre bueno y aumentará su saber.

»El que corrige al insolente se gana que lo insulten;
    el que reprende al malvado se gana su desprecio.
No reprendas al insolente, no sea que acabe por odiarte;
    reprende al sabio y te amará.
Instruye al sabio, y se hará más sabio;
    enseña al justo, y aumentará su saber.

Whoever corrects a mocker invites insults;
    whoever rebukes the wicked incurs abuse.(A)
Do not rebuke mockers(B) or they will hate you;
    rebuke the wise and they will love you.(C)
Instruct the wise and they will be wiser still;
    teach the righteous and they will add to their learning.(D)

He that reproveth a scorner getteth to himself shame: and he that rebuketh a wicked man getteth himself a blot.

Reprove not a scorner, lest he hate thee: rebuke a wise man, and he will love thee.

Give instruction to a wise man, and he will be yet wiser: teach a just man, and he will increase in learning.
