²⁵ Smite a scoffer, and the simple will learn prudence;
And reprove one that hath understanding, and he will understand knowledge.
²⁶ He that doeth violence to his father, and chaseth away his mother,
Is a son that causeth shame and bringeth reproach.
²⁷ Cease, my son, to hear instruction
Only to err from the words of knowledge.
