Whoever corrects a mocker invites insults; whoever rebukes the wicked incurs abuse.

When you correct someone who makes fun of others, you might be laughed at. When you warn a sinner, you might get hurt.

Whoever corrects a scoffer gets himself abuse, and he who reproves a wicked man incurs injury.

Anyone who rebukes a mocker will get an insult in return. Anyone who corrects the wicked will get hurt.

The one who corrects a mocker will bring abuse on himself; the one who rebukes the wicked will get hurt.

One who corrects a scoffer gets dishonor for himself, And one who rebukes a wicked person gets insults for himself.

“ He who corrects a scoffer gets shame for himself, And he who rebukes a wicked man only harms himself.

He that correcteth a scoffer getteth to himself reviling; And he that reproveth a wicked man getteth himself a blot.

The one who corrects a mocker will bring dishonor on himself; the one who rebukes a wicked man will get hurt.

He that reproveth a scorner getteth to himself shame: and he that rebuketh a wicked[ man getteth] himself a blot.

Whoever corrects a mocker is asking for insult; whoever reproves a wicked person receives abuse.

One who corrects a mocker invites insult. One who reproves a wicked man invites abuse.
