He that reproveth a scorner getteth to himself shame: and he that rebuketh a wicked man getteth himself a blot.

Reprove not a scorner, lest he hate thee: rebuke a wise man, and he will love thee.

If thou be wise, thou shalt be wise for thyself: but if thou scornest, thou alone shalt bear it.

Judgments are prepared for scorners, and stripes for the back of fools.

Proud and haughty scorner is his name, who dealeth in proud wrath.

Though the LORD be high, yet hath he respect unto the lowly: but the proud he knoweth afar off.

For thus saith the high and lofty One that inhabiteth eternity, whose name is Holy; I dwell in the high and holy place, with him also that is of a contrite and humble spirit, to revive the spirit of the humble, and to revive the heart of the contrite ones.

But he giveth more grace. Wherefore he saith, God resisteth the proud, but giveth grace unto the humble.

Likewise, ye younger, submit yourselves unto the elder. Yea, all of you be subject one to another, and be clothed with humility: for God resisteth the proud, and giveth grace to the humble.
