⁷ He who ^(A)disciplines a scoffer receives disgrace for himself,
And he who reproves a wicked man receives injury for himself.
^8 (B)Do not reprove a scoffer, lest he hate you,
^(C)Reprove a wise man and he will love you.
⁹ Give knowledge to a wise man and he will be still wiser,
Make a righteous man know it and he will ^(D)increase his learning.
