Proverbs 9:7 KJV “He that reproveth a scorner getteth to himself shame: and he that rebuketh a wicked man getteth himself a blot.”

Trying to force a mocker or wicked person to accept godly correction is like expecting a man with no legs to walk. He can’t do it. God says those who reprove mockers and the wicked bring disgrace, shame, and abuse to themselves. The man with no legs is crippled physically. If we think we can make wicked mockers accept God’s truth might we be crippled spiritually?🤔

Matthew 7:6 AMP “Do not give that which is holy to dogs, and do not throw your pearls before pigs, for they will trample them under their feet, and turn and tear you to pieces.”

This is all you can expect when you give God’s word to wicked mockers: they will trample them under their feet, “And turn and tear you to pieces.”😠

Proverbs 9:8-9 NLT “So don’t bother correcting mockers; they will only hate you. But correct the wise, and they will love you. [9] Instruct the wise, and they will be even wiser. Teach the righteous, and they will learn even more.”

The apostle Paul instructed the younger Timothy:

2 Timothy 2:2 AMP “The things [the doctrine, the precepts, the admonitions, the sum of my ministry] which you have heard me teach in the presence of many witnesses, entrust [as a treasure] to RELIABLE and FAITHFUL men who will also be CAPABLE AND QUALIFIED TO TEACH OTHERS.”
