Proverbs 19:25-27

EasyEnglish Bible

²⁵ If you beat a proud fool,
    a silly person may learn to be careful.
If you warn a wise person,
    he himself will learn a lesson.
²⁶ Anyone who robs his father or chases away his mother
    is a bad son who brings shame to his family.
²⁷ My child, never stop learning about what is right.
    If you stop learning, you will soon forget what you already know.
