Proverbs 19:25-27

Expanded Bible

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.

²⁷ Don’t stop listening to correction, my child,
or you will ·forget what you have already learned [^Lwander from knowledgeable speeches/words].
