9If a wise man contendeth with a foolish man, whether he rage or laugh, there is no rest.
Win, lose, or draw, when dealing with a fool, there’s no way you can come out unsoiled. I’m dealing with someone like this. No matter what I do, there will be no peace.

10Cast out the scorner, and contention shall go out; yea, strife and reproach shall cease.
This simple verse of wisdom is exactly why I feel the way I do with my church leadership. They refuse to take even the smallest step toward confronting the scorner. Therefore strife and reproach will continue.
