Proverbs 19:25-27

Tree of Life Version

²⁵ Strike a scoffer and the naïve will learn caution.
rebuke a discerning person and he will gain knowledge.
²⁶ He who robs his father and drives away his mother
    is a son who brings shame and disgrace!
²⁷ My son, if you stop heeding instruction,
you will stray from words of knowledge.
