25 Punish the insolent—make an example of them.Who knows? Somebody might learn a good lesson.
26 Kids who lash out against their parentsare an embarrassment and disgrace.
27 If you quit listening, dear child, and strike off on your own,you’ll soon be out of your depth.
28 An unprincipled witness desecrates justice;the mouths of the wicked spew malice.
29 The irreverent have to learn reverence the hard way;only a slap in the face brings fools to attention.
