its a subjective question, mudepend na siya sa situation... when you say mockers... kanang magbugal˛ na gali ug naay magsangyaw, they don't necesarilly have to hate (though they can be haters), mock lang jud sila, dili na nimo sila erebuke kay i-hate na nuon ka nila (if hate na daan, musamot), wala raman gud na sila kasabot and dili na sila open. Its a basic defensive mechanism of a human being to come up with something (like mocking) to keep himself from listening to you... Muslims for example, all of them do not like the Christian faith but doesn't mean that all of them mocked the Christian faith... something like that gali...
ang wise pud nga gipoint out diha, are those who do listen, try to understand, is open to learning and the likes... if you go back to verse and read the whole chapter, this chapter is actually giving you an idea on how to deal with mockers and listeners and how to be wise and not a folly...
Proverbs 9
Invitations of Wisdom and of Folly
1 Wisdom has built her house;
she has hewn out its seven pillars. 2 She has prepared her meat and mixed her wine;
she has also set her table.
3 She has sent out her maids, and she calls
from the highest point of the city.
4 "Let all who are simple come in here!"
she says to those who lack judgment.
5 "Come, eat my food
and drink the wine I have mixed.
6 Leave your simple ways and you will live;
walk in the way of understanding.
7 "Whoever corrects a mocker invites insult;
whoever rebukes a wicked man incurs abuse.
8 Do not rebuke a mocker or he will hate you;
rebuke a wise man and he will love you.
9 Instruct a wise man and he will be wiser still;
teach a righteous man and he will add to his learning.
10 "The fear of the LORD is the beginning of wisdom,
and knowledge of the Holy One is understanding.
11 For through me your days will be many,
and years will be added to your life.
12 If you are wise, your wisdom will reward you;
if you are a mocker, you alone will suffer."
13 The woman Folly is loud;
she is undisciplined and without knowledge.
14 She sits at the door of her house,
on a seat at the highest point of the city,
15 calling out to those who pass by,
who go straight on their way.
16 "Let all who are simple come in here!"
she says to those who lack judgment.
17 "Stolen water is sweet;
food eaten in secret is delicious!"
18 But little do they know that the dead are there,
that her guests are in the depths of the grave. [
