Context of Proverbs 19:26
24A sluggard burieth his hand in the dish, and will not even bring it to his mouth again. 25Smite a scorner, and the simple will beware; reprove the intelligent, and he will understand knowledge. He that ruineth [his] father and chaseth away [his] mother is a son that causeth shame and bringeth reproach. 27Cease, my son, to hear the instruction which causeth to stray from the words of knowledge. 28A witness of Belial scorneth judgment, and the mouth of the wicked swalloweth down iniquity.
