23. The fear of the Lord leads to life, then contentment;he rests and will not be touched by trouble.
24. The sluggard buries his hand in the dish;he will not so much as bring it to his mouth again.
25. Flog a scoffer, and the simple will learn prudence;rebuke one who has understanding, and he will gain knowledge.
26. He who robs his father and drives away his mother,is a son who causes shame and brings reproach.
27. If you stop listening to instruction, my son,you will stray from the words of knowledge.
28. A corrupt witness mocks justice,and the mouth of the wicked gulps down iniquity.
