9:6 Abandon your foolish ways 1 so that you may live, 2
and proceed 3 in the way of understanding.”
9:7 Whoever corrects 4 a mocker is asking for 5 insult; 6
whoever reproves a wicked person receives 7 abuse.
9:8 Do not reprove 8 a mocker or 9 he will hate you;
reprove a wise person and he will love you.
