23 The fear of the LORD leads to life: and he that has it shall abide satisfied; he shall not be visited with evil.
24 A slothful man hides his hand in his dish, and will not so much as bring it to his mouth again.
25 Smite a scoffer, and the simple will beware: and reprove one that has understanding, and he will understand knowledge.
26 He that mistreats his father, and chases away his mother, is a son that causes shame, and brings reproach.
27 Cease, my son, to hear the instruction that causes to stray from the words of knowledge.
28 An ungodly witness scorns judgment: and the mouth of the wicked devours iniquity.
29 Judgments are prepared for scoffers and stripes for the back of fools.
