Bible in Basic English
He who gives teaching to a man of pride gets shame for himself; he who says sharp words to a sinner gets a bad name.
6Leave your folly behind, and you will live; walk in the way of understanding.”
8Do not rebuke a mocker, or he will hate you; rebuke a wise man, and he will love you.
