One who corrects a scoffer gets dishonor for himself, And one who rebukes a wicked person gets insults for himself.

He that reproveth a scorner getteth to himself shame: and he that rebuketh a wicked man getteth himself a blot.

Do not rebuke a scoffer, or he will hate you; Rebuke a wise person and he will love you.

Reprove not a scorner, lest he hate thee: rebuke a wise man, and he will love thee.

Give instruction to a wise person and he will become still wiser; Teach a righteous person and he will increase his insight.

Give instruction to a wise man, and he will be yet wiser: teach a just man, and he will increase in learning.
