Proverbs 19:24-26
Common English Bible
24 Lazy people bury their hand in the bowl;
they won’t even put it to their mouth.
25 Strike someone who scoffs, and a naive person will become clever;
correct someone with understanding, and they will gain knowledge.
26 Those who assault their father and drive out their mother
are disgraceful children, worthy of reproach.
Proverbs 19:24-26
New International Version
24 A sluggard buries his hand in the dish;
he will not even bring it back to his mouth!(A)
25 Flog a mocker, and the simple will learn prudence;
rebuke the discerning,(B) and they will gain knowledge.(C)
26 Whoever robs their father and drives out their mother(D)
is a child who brings shame and disgrace.
