Proverbs 19:25-27

New American Standard Bible

^25 (A)Strike a scoffer and the naive may become clever,
But ^(B)rebuke one who has understanding, and he will ^[a]gain knowledge.
²⁶ He ^(C)who assaults his father and drives his mother away
Is a shameful and disgraceful son.
²⁷ Stop listening, my son, to discipline,
And you will stray from the words of knowledge.
