Proverbs 19:24-26
Easy-to-Read Version
24 Some people are too lazy to take care of themselves. They will not even lift the food from their plate to their mouth.
25 Punish a rude, arrogant person, and even slow learners will become wiser. But just a little correction is enough to teach a person who has understanding.
26 Those who would steal from their father and chase away their mother are disgusting, shameful people.

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.
