Dealing with Fools and Scorners

Proverbs 19:25-29

Smite a scoffer, and the simple will learn prudence; And reprove one that hath understanding, and he will understand knowledge.

He that doeth violence to his father, and chaseth away his mother, Is a son that causeth shame and bringeth reproach.

Cease, my son, to hear instruction Onlyto err from the words of knowledge.

A worthless witness mocketh at justice; And the mouth of the wicked swalloweth iniquity.

Judgments are prepared for scoffers, And stripes for the back of fools.
