25 Strike a mocker, and the inexperienced learn a lesson; rebuke the discerning, and he gains knowledge.
26 The one who assaults his father and evicts his motheris a disgraceful and shameful son.
27 If you stop listening to correction, my son,you will stray from the words of knowledge.
28 A worthless witness mocks justice,and a wicked mouth swallows iniquity.
29 Judgments are prepared for mockers,and beatings for the backs of fools.
