NIV

7 He that reproveth a scorner getteth to himself shame: and he that rebuketh a wicked man getteth himself a blot.
7 Whoever corrects a mocker invites insults; whoever rebukes the wicked incurs abuse.
8 Reprove not a scorner, lest he hate thee: rebuke a wise man, and he will love thee.
8 Do not rebuke mockers or they will hate you; rebuke the wise and they will love you.
