Proverbs 19:24-26

International Standard Version

²⁴The lazy person buries his hand in his dish
and doesn’t bother to bring it back to his mouth.

²⁵If you scourge a scoffer,
the simple person may learn to be discreet;
rebuke a discerning man
and he will gain understanding.

²⁶Whoever mistreats his father
and alienates his mother
is a son who brings both shame and disrespect.

Proverbs 19:24-26

he will not even bring it back to his mouth!^(A)

²⁵Flog a mocker, and the simple will learn prudence;
rebuke the discerning,^(B) and they will gain knowledge.^(C)

²⁶Whoever robs their father and drives out their mother^(D)
is a child who brings shame and disgrace.
