My son, if thou be surety for thy friend, if thou hast stricken thy hand with a stranger, Thou art snared with the words of thy mouth, thou art taken with the words of thy mouth.

Deliver thyself as a roe from the hand of the hunter, and as a bird from the hand of the fowler. Proverbs 6:1-5

Apparently it is ok to smite a scorner but not reprove him. Maybe if you smite him from behind he won't hate you as much. Not sure exactly what to do with those damn scorners.
Rule 710: Aren't the foolish, downtrodden, etc the ones Christians are supposed to be reaching out to? Good job bible, good job "loving Christians". Adding to the giant list of contradictions..
