Proverbs 19:25-29 Holman Christian Standard Bible (HCSB)

25. Strike a mocker, and the inexperienced learn a lesson; rebuke the discerning, and he gains knowledge.

26. The one who assaults his father and evicts his motheris a disgraceful and shameful son.

27. If you stop listening to correction, my son,you will stray from the words of knowledge.

28. A worthless witness mocks justice,and a wicked mouth swallows iniquity.

29. Judgments are prepared for mockers,and beatings for the backs of fools.
