Proverbs 19:24-29 Revised Version 1885 (RV1885)

24. The sluggard burieth his hand in the dish, and will not so much as bring it to his mouth again,

25. smite a scorner, and the simple will learn prudence: and reprove one that hath understanding, and he will understand knowledge.

26. He that spoileth 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.

28. A worthless witness mocketh at judgment: and the mouth of the wicked swalloweth iniquity.

29. Judgments are prepared for scorners, and stripes for the back of fools.
