Proverbs 19:25-27

Legacy Standard Bible

^25 (A)Strike a scoffer and the simple may become prudent,
But ^(B)reprove one who has understanding and he will understand knowledge.
²⁶ He ^(C)who assaults his father and causes his mother to flee
Is a son who brings shame and humiliation.
²⁷ Cease listening, my son, to discipline,
And you will stray from the words of knowledge.
