Berean Standard Bible
Proverbs 9:8
“Do not rebuke a mocker, or he will hate you; rebuke a wise man, and he will love you.”
In context
6Leave your folly behind, and you will live; walk in the way of understanding.”
7He who corrects a mocker brings shame on himself; he who rebukes a wicked man taints himself.
8Do not rebuke a mocker, or he will hate you; rebuke a wise man, and he will love you.
10The fear of the LORD is the beginning of wisdom, and knowledge of the Holy One is understanding.
