[a]Abandon your foolishness and (A)live,
And (B)proceed in the way of understanding.”

One who (C)corrects a scoffer gets dishonor for himself,
And one who rebukes a wicked person gets [b]insults for himself.
(D)Do not rebuke a scoffer, or he will hate you;
(E)Rebuke a wise person and he will love you.
