6. Leave off, simple ones [forsake the foolish and simpleminded] and live! And walk in the way of insight and understanding.
7. He who rebukes a scorner heaps upon himself abuse, and he who reproves a wicked man gets for himself bruises.
8. Reprove not a scorner, lest he hate you; reprove a wise man, and he will love you. [Ps. 141:5.]
9. Give instruction to a wise man and he will be yet wiser; teach a righteous man (one upright and in right standing with God) and he will increase in learning.
