Context of Proverbs 19:26
24The lazy man buries his hand in the [food] dish, But will not even bring it to his mouth again. 25Strike 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. 27Cease listening, my son, to instruction and discipline And you will stray from the words of knowledge. 28A wicked and worthless witness mocks justice, And the mouth of the wicked spreads iniquity.
