Proverbs 19:25
Berean Standard Bible
Strike a mocker, and the simple will beware; rebuke the discerning man, and he will gain knowledge.
Context
23The fear of the LORD leads to life,
that one may rest content, without visitation from harm. 24The slacker buries his hand in the dish;
he will not even bring it back to his mouth. 25Strike a mocker, and the simple will beware;
rebuke the discerning man, and he will gain knowledge. 26He who assaults his father or evicts his mother
is a son who brings shame and disgrace. 27If you cease to hear instruction, my son,
you will stray from the words of knowledge.
