ગુજરાતીનીતિવચનો ૧૫:૧૨
તિરસ્કાર કરનારને કોઈ ઠપકો આપે તે તેને ગમતું હોતું નથી; અને તે જ્ઞાની માણસની પાસે જવા પણ ઇચ્છતો નથી.
हिन्दीनीतिवचन १५:१२
ठट्ठा करनेवाला डाँटे जाने से प्रसन्न नहीं होता, और न वह बुद्धिमानों के पास जाता है।

In context

10There is stern discipline for one who forsakes the way. Whoever hates reproof shall die.

11Sheol and Abaddon are before the LORD— how much more then the hearts of the children of men!

12A scoffer doesn’t love to be reproved; he will not go to the wise.

13A glad heart makes a cheerful face, but an aching heart breaks the spirit.

14The heart of one who has understanding seeks knowledge, but the mouths of fools feed on folly.
