Proverbs 19:27 (WEB)
Context Reading
25Flog a scoffer, and the simple will learn prudence;rebuke one who has understanding, and he will gain knowledge. 26He who robs his father and drives away his motheris a son who causes shame and brings reproach. 27If you stop listening to instruction, my son,you will stray from the words of knowledge. 28A corrupt witness mocks justice,and the mouth of the wicked gulps down iniquity. 29Penalties are prepared for scoffers,and beatings for the backs of fools.
