Scoffer:"Ha, you're all just drunk- and so early
in the day!".
When the Scoffer is punished, the simple is made wise;
A wise son listens to his father's instruction, but a Scoffer doesn't listen to rebuke.
I would have liked Scoffer have argued that the tutorial is not
related to the title. Because?!?
Don't reprove a Scoffer, lest he hate you. Reprove a wise man, and he will love you.
Do not rebuke the Scoffer, lest he hate you, rebuke a wise person and he will love you1.
Flog a Scoffer, and the simple will learn prudence;
rebuke one who has understanding, and he will gain knowledge.
