Commentary on Proverbs 9:7
Whoever corrects a mocker gets shame; whoever rebukes wicked gets insult. The Hebrew 'yasar' (correct/discipline) and 'yakach' (rebuke/reprove) describe instructive confrontation. But mockers and wicked don't receive correction gratefully - they return shame and insult. This verse warns: some people aren't ready for wisdom. Attempting to instruct those committed to folly brings harm to instructor without benefit to fool.
