Proverbs 19:25-27

International Children’s Bible

²⁵ Whip a person who makes fun of wisdom, and then foolish people will learn how to think.
    Just correct a smart man, and he will gain knowledge.

²⁶ A son who robs his father and sends away his mother
    brings shame and disgrace on himself.

²⁷ Don’t stop listening to correction, my child.
    If you do, you will not obey what you have already learned.
