Proverbs
Chapters 19:25-29
Amplified Bible
25Strike a scoffer, and the simple will learn prudence; reprove a man of understanding, and he will increase in knowledge.
26He who does violence to his father and chases away his mother is a son who causes shame and brings reproach.
27Cease, my son, to hear instruction only to ignore it and stray from the words of knowledge.
28A worthless witness scoffs at justice, and the mouth of the wicked swallows iniquity.
29Judgments are prepared for scoffers, and stripes for the backs of [self-confident] fools. [Isa. 32:6.]
