whoever rebukes the wicked incurs abuse.

7 He that reproveth a scorner getteth to himself shame: And he that rebuketh a wicked man getteth himself a blot.

7 Anyone who rebukes a mocker will get an insult in return.

Anyone who corrects the wicked will get hurt.

7 “He who corrects a scoffer gets shame for himself,

And he who rebukes a wicked man only harms himself.

7 “If you correct someone who makes fun of wisdom, you will be insulted.

If you correct an evil person, you will get hurt.

7 He that correcteth a scoffer getteth to himself reviling;

And he that reproveth a wicked man getteth himself a blot.

7 He that instructeth a scorner getteth to himself shame; and he that reproveth a wicked man getteth to himself a blot.

7 Whoever corrects a mocker receives abuse. 

Whoever warns a wicked person gets hurt. 

7 The one who corrects a mocker

will bring dishonor on himself;

the one who rebukes a wicked man will get hurt.

7 Whoever corrects a scoffer wins abuse;

whoever rebukes the wicked gets hurt.

7 He who corrects a scoffer gains abuse for himself,

and he who rebukes the wicked gets hurt.

7 “When you correct someone who makes fun of others, you might be laughed at.

When you warn a sinner, you might get hurt.

7 He who corrects a scoffer gets dishonor for himself,

And he who reproves a wicked man gets insults for himself.
