Proverbs 19:24-26

Good News Translation

²⁴ Some people are too lazy to put food in their own mouths.

²⁵ Arrogance should be punished, so that people who don't know any better can learn a lesson. If you are wise, you will learn when you are corrected.

²⁶ Only a shameful, disgraceful person would mistreat his father or turn his mother away from his home.
