24. The sluggard buries a hand in the dish;not even lifting it to the mouth.
25. Beat a scoffer and the naive learn a lesson;rebuke the intelligent and they gain knowledge.
26. Whoever mistreats a father or drives away a mother,is a shameless and disgraceful child.
27. My son, stop attending to correction;start straying from words of knowledge.
28. An unprincipled witness scoffs at justice,and the mouth of the wicked pours out iniquity.
29. Rods are prepared for scoffers,and blows for the backs of fools.
