Proverbs 19:24-26

Expanded Bible

²⁴ Though the lazy person ·puts [^Lburies] his hand in the dish,
he won’t lift the food to his mouth.

²⁵ ·Whip those who make fun of wisdom [^LHit/Strike a mocker], and perhaps ·foolish [naive; immature; simpleminded] people will gain some ·wisdom [prudence].
Correct those with understanding, and they will gain knowledge.

²⁶ A child who ·robs [devastates] his father and ·sends [drives] away his mother
brings shame and disgrace on himself.
