25 (A)Strike (B)a scoffer, and the simple will (C)learn prudence; (D)reprove a man of understanding, and he will gain knowledge.
29 Condemnation is ready for (A)scoffers, and (B)beating for the backs of fools.
11 When (A)a scoffer is punished, the simple becomes wise; when a wise man is instructed, he gains knowledge.
