12 A scorner loveth not one that reproveth him: neither will he go unto the wise.
12 Mockers resent correction, so they avoid the wise.
12 A scoffer does not like to be reproved; he will not go to the wise.
12 Know-it-alls don't like being told what to do; they avoid the company of wise men and women.
12 A scoffer does not love one who corrects him, Nor will he go to the wise.
12 Mockers hate to be corrected, so they stay away from the wise.
