He who corrects a scoffer gains abuse for himself, and he who rebukes the wicked {gets hurt}.

Drive out a scoffer and strife will go out; quarrel and abuse will cease.

Listen to me, you who know righteousness, people [who have] my teaching in their heart; you must not fear [the] reproach of men, or be terrified because of their abuse.

And Zedekiah the king said to Jeremiah, "I [am] afraid of the Judeans who have deserted to the Chaldeans, lest they give me into their hand and they abuse me."
