24. The sluggard burieth his hand in the dish, And will not so much as bring it to his mouth again.
25. Smite a scoffer, and the simple will learn prudence; And reprove one that hath understanding, and he will understand knowledge.
26. He that doeth violence to his father, and chaseth away his mother, Is a son that causeth shame and bringeth reproach.
27. Cease, my son, to hear instruction Only to err from the words of knowledge.
28. A worthless witness mocketh at justice; And the mouth of the wicked swalloweth iniquity.
29. Judgments are prepared for scoffers, And stripes for the back of fools.
