Proverbs 19:24-26
New Century Version
24 Though the lazy person puts his hand in the dish,
he won’t lift the food to his mouth.
25 Whip those who make fun of wisdom, and perhaps foolish people will gain some wisdom.
Correct those with understanding, and they will gain knowledge.
26 A child who robs his father and sends away his mother
brings shame and disgrace on himself.
Proverbs 19:24-26
New International Version
24 A sluggard buries his hand in the dish;
he will not even bring it back to his mouth!(A)
25 Flog a mocker, and the simple will learn prudence;
rebuke the discerning,(B) and they will gain knowledge.(C)
26 Whoever robs their father and drives out their mother(D)
is a child who brings shame and disgrace.
