⁸ Do not rebuke mockers^(A) or they will hate you;
    rebuke the wise and they will love you.^(B)

⁷ Stay away from a fool,
    for you will not find knowledge on their lips.

¹⁰ A rebuke impresses a discerning person
    more than a hundred lashes a fool.

²² Though you grind a fool in a mortar,
    grinding them like grain with a pestle,
    you will not remove their folly from them.
