If you are wise, your wisdom will reward you; if you are a mocker, you alone will suffer.

If you are wise, your wisdom will reward you. If you make fun of others, you alone will suffer.

If you are wise, you are wise for yourself; if you scoff, you alone will bear it.

If you become wise, you will be the one to benefit. If you scorn wisdom, you will be the one to suffer.

If you are wise, you are wise for your own benefit; if you mock, you alone will bear the consequences.”

If you are wise, you are wise for yourself, And if you scoff, you alone will suffer from it.

If you are wise, you are wise for yourself, And if you scoff, you will bear it alone.”

If thou art wise, thou art wise for thyself; And if thou scoffest, thou alone shalt bear it.

If thou be wise, thou shalt be wise for thyself: but[ if] thou scornest, thou alone shalt bear[ it].

If you are wise, you are wise to your own advantage, but if you are a mocker, you alone must bear it.

If you are wise, you are wise for yourself. If you mock, you alone will bear it.

Come to terms with God and be at peace; in this way good will come to you.

Can a man be of any use to God? Can even a wise man be of use to Him?Does it delight the Almighty if you are righteous? Does He profit if you perfect your behavior?

So now, do not mock, or your shackles will become stronger. Indeed, I have heard from the Lord God of Hosts a decree of destruction for the whole land.

If you sin, how does it affect God? If you multiply your transgressions, what does it do to Him?If you are righteous, what do you give Him, or what does He receive from your hand?

The person who sins is the one who will die. A son won’t suffer punishment for the father’s iniquity, and a father won’t suffer punishment for the son’s iniquity. The righteousness of the righteous person will be on him, and the wickedness of the wicked person will be on him.

First, be aware of this: Scoffers will come in the last days to scoff, living according to their own desires,saying,“ Where is the promise of His coming? Ever since the fathers fell asleep, all things continue as they have been since the beginning of creation.”

A worker’s appetite works for him because his hunger urges him on.

He speaks about these things in all his letters in which there are some matters that are hard to understand. The untaught and unstable twist them to their own destruction, as they also do with the rest of the Scriptures.
