24. A sluggard buries his hand in the dish;he will not even bring it back to his mouth!
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.
