25Smite a scorner, and the simple will become prudent; and if one that hath understanding be admonished, he will understand knowledge.
26He that plundereth his father, and chaseth away his mother, is a son that bringeth shame and dishonor.
27Cease, my son, to hear the instruction that causeth thee to err from the sayings of knowledge.
28An ungodly witness scorneth at justice, and the mouth of the wicked swalloweth mischief.
29Punishments are prepared for scorners, and stripes for the back of fools.
