25 Flog a mocker, and the simple will learn prudence;rebuke the discerning, and they will gain knowledge.
26 Whoever robs their father and drives out their motheris a child who brings shame and disgrace.
27 Stop listening to instruction, my son,and you will stray from the words of knowledge.
28 A corrupt witness mocks at justice,and the mouth of the wicked gulps down evil.
29 Penalties are prepared for mockers,and beatings for the backs of fools.
