Context of Proverbs 19:27
25Strike a mocker, and the inexperienced learn a lesson; rebuke the discerning, and he gains knowledge. 26The one who plunders his father and evicts his mother is a disgraceful and shameful son. If 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. 29Judgments are prepared for mockers, and beatings for the backs of fools.
