“How long, inexperienced ones, will you love ignorance?
How long will you mockers enjoy mocking
and you fools hate knowledge?
“The one who corrects a mocker
will bring abuse on himself;
the one who rebukes the wicked will get hurt.[fn]
“If you are wise, you are wise for your own benefit;
if you mock, you alone will bear the consequences.”
A wise son responds to his father’s discipline,
but a mocker doesn’t listen to rebuke.
A mocker seeks wisdom and doesn’t find it,
but knowledge comes easily to the perceptive.
Strike a mocker, and the inexperienced learn a lesson;
rebuke the discerning, and he gains knowledge.
Wine is a mocker, beer is a brawler;
whoever goes astray[fn] because of them is not wise.
When a mocker is punished,
the inexperienced become wiser;
when one teaches a wise man,
he acquires knowledge.
