8  ^lDo not reprove a scoffer, or he will hate you;

^mreprove a wise man, and he will love you.

17  Whoever heeds instruction is on ^dthe path to life,

but he who rejects reproof leads others astray.

1  Whoever loves discipline loves knowledge,

but he who ^zhates reproof is ^astupid.

10  A rebuke goes deeper into a man of understanding

than a hundred blows into a fool.
