Why Do Scoffers Scoff? What's The Big Deal? [Spirituality & Religion]
7 “He who corrects a scoffer gets shame for himself,
And he who rebukes a wicked man only harms himself.
8 Do not correct a scoffer, lest he hate you;
Rebuke a wise man, and he will love you.
9 Give instruction to a wise man, and he will be still wiser;
Teach a just man, and he will increase in learning.
Proverbs 9:7-9
Even those scoffers have intelligence, you can tell they hardly use it by their scoffing.
Wise men use a great amount of intelligence and need not scoff at their instruction.
And he who rebukes a wicked man only harms himself.
