1599 Geneva Bible
24 (A)The slothful hideth his hand in his bosom, and will not put it to his mouth again.
25 (B)Smite a scorner, and the [a]foolish will beware: and reprove the prudent, and he will understand knowledge.
26 He that destroyeth his father, or chaseth away his mother, is a lewd and shameful child.
