Proverbs 19:24-26
New King James Version

24 (A)A lazy man buries his hand in the [a]bowl,
And will not so much as bring it to his mouth again.

25 Strike a scoffer, and the simple (B)will become wary;
(C)Rebuke one who has understanding, and he will discern knowledge.

26 He who mistreats his father and chases away his mother
Is (D)a son who causes shame and brings reproach.
