Proverbs 19:25-27

International Standard Version

²⁵ If you scourge a scoffer,
    the simple person may learn to be discreet;
rebuke a discerning man
    and he will gain understanding.

²⁶ Whoever mistreats his father
    and alienates his mother
        is a son who brings both shame and disrespect.

²⁷ My son, if you stop listening to instruction,
    you will stray from the principles of knowledge.
