Dealing with Fools and Scorners

Proverbs 19:25-29

A scorner smite, and the simple acts prudently, And give reproof to the intelligent, He understandeth knowledge.

Whoso is spoiling a father causeth a mother to flee, A son causing shame, and bringing confusion.

Cease, my son, to hear instruction--To err from sayings of knowledge.

A worthless witness scorneth judgment, And the mouth of the wicked swalloweth iniquity.

Judgments have been prepared for scorners, And stripes for the back of fools!
