⁷ Whoever corrects a mocker invites insults; whoever rebukes the wicked incurs abuse.

⁷ He that correcteth a scoffer getteth to himself reviling; And he that reproveth a wicked man [getteth] himself a blot.

⁷ If you reason with an arrogant cynic, you'll get slapped in the face; confront bad behavior and get a kick in the shins.
