⁷ He that reproveth a scorner getteth to himself shame:
and he that rebuketh a wicked man getteth himself a blot.
⁸ Reprove not a scorner, lest he hate thee:
rebuke a wise man, and he will love thee.
⁹ Give instruction to a wise man, and he will be yet wiser:
teach a just man, and he will increase in learning.
