Proverbs 19:26

Parents and children

24 The slacker buries his hand in the dish; he will not even bring it back to his mouth.

25 Strike a mocker, and the simple will beware; rebuke the discerning man, and he will gain knowledge.

He who assaults his father or evicts his mother is a son who brings shame and disgrace.

27 If you cease to hear instruction, my son, you will stray from the words of knowledge.

28 A corrupt witness mocks justice, and a wicked mouth swallows iniquity.
