Strike a mocker, and the inexperienced learn a lesson;
rebuke the discerning, and he gains knowledge.

When a mocker is punished,
the inexperienced become wiser;
when one teaches a wise man,
he acquires knowledge.

All Israel will hear and be afraid, and they will no longer do anything evil like this among you.

Then all the men of his city will stone him to death. You must purge the evil from you, and all Israel will hear and be afraid.

Don’t rebuke a mocker, or he will hate you;
rebuke a wise man, and he will love you.

A fool despises his father’s discipline,
but a person who accepts correction is sensible.

A rebuke cuts into a perceptive person
more than a hundred lashes into a fool.

As many as I love, I rebuke and discipline. So be committed and repent.
