⁷ He who reproves a scorner gets shame for himself,
    and he who rebukes a wicked man gets hurt.
⁸ Do not reprove a scorner, lest he hate you;
    rebuke a wise man, and he will love you.
⁹ Give instruction to a wise man, and he will be yet wiser;
    teach a just man, and he will increase in learning.

⁸ The wise in heart will receive commandments,
    but a prating fool will fall.

¹⁵ The way of a fool is right in his own eyes,
    but he who listens to counsel is wise.

13 A wise son heeds his father’s instruction,
    but a scoffer does not listen to rebuke.

¹³ Whoever despises the word will be destroyed,
    but he who fears the commandment will be rewarded.

³¹ The ear that hears the reproof of life
    abides among the wise.

¹⁰ A reproof enters deeper into a wise man
    than a hundred stripes into a fool.

¹⁶ He who keeps the commandment keeps his own soul,
    but he who is careless in his ways will die.

²⁰ Hear counsel and receive instruction,
    that you may be wise in your latter days.
