24He that unjustly hides his hands in his bosom, will not even bring them up to his mouth.
25When a pestilent character is scourged, a simple man is made wiser: and if you reprove a wise man, he will understand discretion.
26He that dishonours his father, and drives away his mother, shall be disgraced and shall be exposed to reproach.
27A son who ceases to attend to the instruction of a father will cherish evil designs.
28He that becomes surety for a foolish child will despise the ordinance: and the mouth of ungodly men shall drink down judgement.
29Scourges are preparing for the intemperate, and punishments likewise for fools.
