⁷ Whoever corrects a scoffer gets himself abuse,
    and he who reproves a wicked man incurs injury.
^8 (A)Do not reprove a scoffer, or he will hate you;
    ^(B)reprove a wise man, and he will love you.

⁹ Do not speak in the hearing of a fool,
    for he will despise the good sense of your words.
