7. He who reproves a scoffer gets shame for himself, And he who rebukes a wrong one gets himself a blemish.
8. Do not reprove a scoffer, lest he hate you; Reprove a wise one, and he loves you.
9. Give instruction to a wise one, and he is wiser still; Teach a righteous one, and he increases in learning.
10. The fear of יהוה is the beginning of wisdom, And the knowledge of the Set-apart One is understanding.
