Proverbs 19:25-27

Modern English Version

²⁵ Smite a scorner, and the simple will beware;
    and reprove one who has understanding, and he will understand knowledge.

²⁶ He who mistreats his father and chases away his mother
    is a son who causes shame and brings reproach.

²⁷ Cease, my son, to hear the instruction
    that causes to err from the words of knowledge.
