²⁵ 
Strike a scoffer [for refusing to learn], and the naive may [be warned and] become prudent;
Reprimand one who has understanding and a teachable spirit, and he will gain knowledge and insight.

He who assaults his father and chases away his mother
Is a son who brings shame and disgrace.^(A)

Cease listening, my son, to instruction and discipline
And you will stray from the words of knowledge.
