A scorner loveth not his reprover, Unto the wise he goeth not.
A scorner smite, and the simple acts prudently, And give reproof to the intelligent, He understandeth knowledge.

When the scorner is punished, the simple becometh wise, And in giving understanding to the wise He receiveth knowledge.
Proud, haughty, scorner is his name, Who is working in the wrath of pride.
Cast out a scorner -- and contention goeth out, And strife and shame cease.
