Whoever corrects a scoffer gets himself abuse, and he who reproves a wicked man incurs injury.
Proverbs 9:7
The etymology of scoffer (luts) seems to connect scoffing with babbling nonsense. A derivative, melits, is a translator or ambassador, someone who relays a message between people of different tongues, ie who seem to speak nonsense to each other. The same connection is apparent in English when someone says "nyah nyah" or "blah blah" to mock someone else's words.
If someone is prone to mock the words of others, then correcting him will only give him fuel.
The fella in the picture is a very ancient false-deity from the fertile-crescent. He found his way to Europe and became one of the primary deities in their pantheon. When the Catholic church became the master of Europe and the very first western bibles were made on the new printing press, they allowed his name to usurp the name of YHWH, creator of heaven and earth. His name is “God.”
YHWH Himself has this to say about him:
“I have let Myself be inquired of, not by those who asked; I was found, not by those who sought Me. I said, ‘Here I am, here I am,’ to a nation not calling on My Name. I have held out My hands all day long to a stubborn people, who walk in a way that is not excellent, after their own thoughts; the people who provoke Me continually to My face, who slaughter in gardens, and burn incense on altars of brick; who sit among the burial-sites, and spend the night in secret places, who eat flesh of pigs, and the broth of unclean meat is in their pots, who say, ‘Keep to yourself, do not come near me, for I am holier than thou to you!’ These are smoke in My nostrils, a fire that burns all day. See, it is written before Me: I am not silent, but shall repay, and I shall repay into their bosom, your crookednesses and the crookednesses of your fathers together,” said YHWH, “who burned incense on the mountains and reproached Me on the hills. And I shall measure their former work into their bosom.” Thus said YHWH, “As the new wine is found in the cluster, and one shall say, ‘Do not destroy it, for there is blessing in it,’ so I do for My servants’ sake, not to destroy them all. “And I shall bring forth a seed from Ya’aqov, and from Yehudah an heir of My mountains. And My chosen ones shall inherit it, and My servants dwell there. And Sharon shall be a fold of flocks, and the Valley of Akor a place for herds to lie down, for My people who have sought Me. But you are those who forsake YHWH, who forget My set-apart mountain, who prepare a table for God, and who fill a drink offering for Meni. And I shall allot you to the sword, and let you all bow down to the slaughter, because I called and you did not answer, I spoke and you did not hear, and you did evil before My eyes and chose that in which I did not delight.”

1 Samuel 8:13, “And he will take your daughters to be confectionaries, and to be cooks, and to be bakers.” As Samuel tells the people how a king would rule over them, we see this verse. There is no single word translation to explain what the word confectionary would mean. These are the people who know how to use plants and turn them into balms, salves, tinctures etc… so they can be used as medicines. While many people knew which plants would help certain ailments, other plants needed to be prepared in a certain way to increase their effectiveness and by working for the king, the people would be indebted to him for their medicine.

For me, the meaning of faith is deliberate confidence in the Character of Elohiym, Whose ways you may not understand sometimes.
