Proverbs 19:24-26

Young's Literal Translation

²⁴The slothful hath hidden his hand in a dish, Even unto his mouth he bringeth it not back.

²⁵A scorner smite, and the simple acts prudently, And give reproof to the intelligent, He understandeth knowledge.

²⁶Whoso is spoiling a father causeth a mother to flee, A son causing shame, and bringing confusion.

Proverbs 19:24-26

New International Version

²⁴A sluggard buries his hand in the dish;
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.
