Proverbs 19:24-26

GOD’S WORD Translation

²⁴ A lazy person puts his fork in his food.
He doesn’t even bring it back to his mouth.
²⁵ Strike a mocker, and a gullible person may learn a lesson.
Warn an understanding person, and he will gain more knowledge.

²⁶ A son who assaults his father ⌞and⌟ who drives away his mother
brings shame and disgrace.
