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.

    but a prating fool shall fall.

¹¹ The mouth of a righteous man is a well of life:
    but violence covereth the mouth of the wicked.

¹³ In the lips of him that hath understanding wisdom is found:
    but a rod is for the back of him that is void of understanding.

¹⁴ Wise men lay up knowledge:
    but the mouth of the foolish is near destruction.
