Context of Proverbs 19:26
24A lazy person pushes his hand into his bowl of food. But then he is too lazy to lift his hand up to his mouth. 25If you beat a proud fool, a silly person may learn to be careful. If you warn a wise person, he himself will learn a lesson. Anyone who robs his father or chases away his mother is a bad son who brings shame to his family. 27My child, never stop learning about what is right. If you stop learning, you will soon forget what you already know. 28If someone tells lies in court, he is laughing at justice. Evil things are food that wicked people love to eat.
