Don’t correct the impudent, or they will hate you; correct the wise, and they will love you.
Reprove not a scorner, lest he hate thee: Rebuke a wise man, and he will love thee.
Reprove not a scorner, lest he hate you; reprove a wise man, and he will love you. [Ps. 141:5.]
Reprove not a scoffer, lest he hate thee: Reprove a wise man, and he will love thee.
Do not be willing to argue with a mocker, lest he hate you. Dispute with the wise, and he will love you.
Rebuke not a scorner lest he hate thee. Rebuke a wise man, and he will love thee.
