Strike a mocker, and the simple will beware; rebuke the discerning man, and he will gain knowledge.

Explanation preview
This verse is one of the sayings collected in Proverbs, wisdom teaching addressed to a learner about how different people respond to correction. The mocker is the hardened scoffer who rejects reproof, so a public blow lands on him as an example, and the simple, the naive person still forming his character, takes warning from what he sees.
