Exegesis
The verse begins with the participle yōsēr {יֹ֤סֵ֨ר | yōsēr} ‘one who corrects’, followed by lēyṣ {לֵ֗ץ | lēyṣ} ‘scoffer’ to form a participial phrase marking the subject and its target.
In context — Proverbs 9:7
Whoever corrects a scoffer acquires disgrace for himself, and whoever reproves the wicked gets a stain.
