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.

13 A wise son heareth his father’s instruction:
    but a scorner heareth not rebuke.

⁶ A scorner seeketh wisdom, and findeth it not:
    but knowledge is easy unto him that understandeth.

¹² A scorner loveth not one that reproveth him:
    neither will he go unto the wise.

⁵ Whoso mocketh the poor reproacheth his Maker:
    and he that is glad at calamities shall not be unpunished.

²⁵ Smite a scorner, and the simple will beware:
    and reprove one that hath understanding, and he will understand knowledge.

²⁴ Proud and haughty scorner is his name,
    who dealeth in proud wrath.
