“How long will you simpletons love naiveté? How long have mockers delighted in mockery? And how long will fools hate knowledge?
With arrogant scoffers he is scornful, yet he shows favor to the humble.
If you are wise, you are wise to your own advantage, but if you have mocked, you alone must bear it.
A rebuke makes a greater impression on a discerning person than a hundred blows on a fool.
A whip for the horse and a bridle for the donkey, and a rod for the backs of fools!
For tyrants will disappear, those who taunt will vanish, and all those who love to do wrong will be eliminated–
“For the Lord disciplines the one he loves and chastises every son he accepts.”
