Proverbs 19:25-27

New King James Version

²⁵ Strike a scoffer, and the simple ^(A)will become wary;
^(B)Rebuke one who has understanding, and he will discern knowledge.

²⁶ He who mistreats his father and chases away his mother
Is ^(C)a son who causes shame and brings reproach.

²⁷ Cease listening to instruction, my son,
And you will stray from the words of knowledge.
