Context of Proverbs 19:27
25Smite a scoffer, and the simple will learn prudence; And reprove one that hath understanding, and he will understand knowledge. 26He that doeth violence to his father, and chaseth away his mother, Is a son that causeth shame and bringeth reproach. Cease, my son, to hear instruction Onlyto err from the words of knowledge. 28A worthless witness mocketh at justice; And the mouth of the wicked swalloweth iniquity. 29Judgments are prepared for scoffers, And stripes for the back of fools.
