Smite a scorner, and the simple will beware: and reprove one that hath understanding, and he will understand knowledge.
24A slothful man hideth his hand in his bosom, and will not so much as bring it to his mouth again.
25Smite a scorner, and the simple will beware: and reprove one that hath understanding, and he will understand knowledge.
27Cease, my son, to hear the instruction that causeth to err from the words of knowledge.
