9:7Whoever corrects13 a mocker is asking for14 insult;15
whoever reproves a wicked person receives16 abuse.
Footnotes
- 13 The active participle יֹסֵר (yoser) describes one who tries to correct by means of instruction and discipline; it is paralleled by the Hiphil participle which refers to someone who rebukes or reproves another. Anyone trying this on these types of people would be inviting trouble.
- 14 Heb “receives for himself.”
- 15 The word means “dishonor” or “disgrace.” It is paralleled with מוּמוֹ (mumo), translated “abuse.” The latter term means “blemish,” although some would emend the text to read “reproach.” The is figurative but not impossible to interpret: Whoever tries to rebuke a wicked person will receive only insults and perhaps physical attack.
- 16 The verb “receives” is supplied in the translation for the sake of clarity and smoothness.
