Dealing with Fools and Scorners

Proverbs 19:25-29

Strike a mocker, and the simple will beware; rebuke the discerning man, and he will gain knowledge.

He who assaults his father or evicts his mother is a son who brings shame and disgrace.

If you cease to hear instruction, my son, you will stray from the words of knowledge.

A corrupt witness mocks justice, and a wicked mouth swallows iniquity.

Judgments are prepared for mockers, and beatings for the backs of fools.
