⁶ "Don't give that which is holy to the dogs, neither throw your pearls before the pigs, lest perhaps they trample them under their feet, and turn and tear you to pieces.

⁷ He who corrects a mocker invites insult. He who reproves a wicked man invites abuse.

⁸ Don't reprove a scoffer, lest he hate you. Reprove a wise man, and he will love you.

⁹ Don't speak in the ears of a fool, For he will despise the wisdom of your words.

²⁶ But he answered, "It is not appropriate to take the children's bread and throw it to the dogs."
