Proverbs 19:25-27

New Century Version

²⁵ Whip those who make fun of wisdom, and perhaps foolish people will gain some wisdom.
    Correct those with understanding, and they will gain knowledge.

²⁶ A child who robs his father and sends 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.
