That make a man an offender for a word, and lay a snare for him that reproveth in the gate, and turn aside the just for a thing of nought.

Shall he that contendeth with the Almighty instruct him? he that reproveth God, let him answer it.

A scorner loveth not one that reproveth him: neither will he go unto the wise.

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