Proverbs
Chapters 19:24-29
New International Version Anglicized
24A sluggard buries his hand in the dish;he will not even bring it back to his mouth!
25Flog a mocker, and the simple will learn prudence;rebuke the discerning, and they will gain knowledge.
26Whoever robs their father and drives out their motheris a child who brings shame and disgrace.
27Stop listening to instruction, my son,and you will stray from the words of knowledge.
28A corrupt witness mocks at justice,and the mouth of the wicked gulps down evil.
29Penalties are prepared for mockers,and beatings for the backs of fools.
