Proverbs 9:7 in other translations
He that reproveth a scorner getteth to himself shame: and he that rebuketh a wicked man getteth himself a blot.
He who corrects a mocker brings shame on himself; he who rebukes a wicked man taints himself.
One who corrects a mocker invites insult. One who reproves a wicked man invites abuse.

In context
4 “Wale wasiofunzwa waje hapa!” anawaambia wale wasionaufahamu.
5 Njoo, ule chakula, na unywe divai nimeshaichanganya.
6 Acheni njia zenu za kijinga, na mkaishi; tembeeni katika njia ya ufahamu.
7 Yeyote amrekebishaye mwenye dhihaka hukaribisha matusi na yeyote anayemshutumu mtu mbaya atapata madhara.
8 Usimshutumu mwenye dhihaka, ama atakuchukia; mshutumu mtu mwenye busara, naye atakupenda.
9 Mpe mafundisho mtu mwenye busara, naye atakuwa na busara zaidi; mfundishe mtu mwenye haki, naye ataongeza elimu.
10 Hofu ya Mungu ni chanzo cha hekima na maarifa ya Mtakatifu ni ufahamu.
