Context of Proverbs 19:26
24The slacker buries his hand in the bowl; he doesn’t even bring it back to his mouth! 25Strike a mocker, and the inexperienced learn a lesson; rebuke the discerning, and he gains knowledge. The one who plunders his father and evicts his mother is a disgraceful and shameful son. 27If you stop listening to correction, my son, you will stray from the words of knowledge. 28A worthless witness mocks justice, and a wicked mouth swallows iniquity.
