For the terrible one is brought to nought, and the scorner is consumed, and all that watch for iniquity are cut off:

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

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

A wise son heareth his father's instruction: but a scorner heareth not rebuke.

A scorner seeketh wisdom, and findeth it not: but knowledge is easy unto him that understandeth.

A scorner loveth not one that reproveth him: neither will he go unto the wise.

Smite a scorner, and the simple will beware: and reprove one that hath understanding, and he will understand knowledge.

When the scorner is punished, the simple is made wise: and when the wise is instructed, he receiveth knowledge.

Proud and haughty scorner is his name, who dealeth in proud wrath.

Cast out the scorner, and contention shall go out; yea, strife and reproach shall cease.

The thought of foolishness is sin: and the scorner is an abomination to men.
