“Correct/Reprove Scoffer?”
“Correct/Reprove Scoffer?”
Blessings folk!
Pursue Wisdom.
Seek understanding.
But, know this.
Not all will receive the Wisdom and Understanding of the Lord through you…
Pro 9:7-9
He who corrects a scoffer gets dishonor for himself,
And he who reproves a wicked man gets insults for himself.
Do not reprove a scoffer, or he will hate you,
Reprove a wise man and he will love you.
Give instruction to a wise man and he will be still wiser,
Teach a righteous man and he will increase his learning.
A scoffer will refuse to listen.
Do not correct him, you will dishonor yourself.
Reprove a wicked man?
You’ll just get insulted.
Reproving a scoffer will bring hatred from him.
But, reprove a wise man and he will love you.
Give instruction to a wise man?
He will still be wiser.
Teach a righteous man?
He will increase in his learning.
Sounds like this…
Mat 7:6
“Do not give what is holy to dogs,
and do not throw your pearls before swine,
or they will trample them under their feet, and turn and tear you to pieces.
