Day 86 Don't Bother | Proverbs 9:7-8

Don't Bother

7 

Anyone who rebukes a mocker will get an insult in return.
     Anyone who corrects the wicked will get hurt.

8 

So don’t bother correcting mockers;
     they will only hate you.

Verse 7

Some people will never listen to you. They refuse to follow advice. They refuse all correction.

Verse 8

Perhaps, you think that you are wise. Here is a test for you. A wise man loves the person who corrects him. A wise man learns from the person who sees his (the wise man’s) errors. If you love such a person then you are really wise.

Proverbs states facts about human nature. If people

think only of themselves, they will hate any criticism, even if the

criticism is deserved.

If people are wise, they can listen to and profit from

correction. They want mistakes to be pointed out so the mistakes

can be corrected.

If a person is evil, is a mocker, is a scoffer then that

person will hate even helpful criticism and correction.

Contemplate: How well do you take criticism? Does

it make you mad, or are you grateful to learn from it?
