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

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

9  Give instruction¹ to a wise man, and he will be ⁿstill wiser;

teach a righteous man, and he will ^oincrease in learning.

2  ^cWhen pride comes, then comes disgrace,

but with ^dthe humble is wisdom.

1  Whoever loves discipline loves knowledge,

but he who ^zhates reproof is ^astupid.
