Dealing with Fools and Scorners

Proverbs 19:25-29

If you strike a scorner, the simple will learn to act wisely; if you reprove the intelligent, he will understand what you mean.

One who mistreats his father and evicts his mother is a son who brings them shame and disgrace.

My son, if you stop heeding discipline, you will stray from the principles of knowledge.

A worthless witness mocks at justice, and the mouth of the wicked swallows wrongdoing.

Judgments are in store for scorners and blows for the backs of fools.
