Proverbs 19:24-26

The Voice

²⁴ Some people are so lazy—they reach for food on the plate
    but lack the will to bring it up to their mouths.
²⁵ If you beat one who mocks, the naive will see and learn a lesson;
    if you correct someone with understanding, that’s all he needs to grow a little wiser.
²⁶ Children who mistreat their father and run down their mother
    are a root of shame and disgrace.
