Context of Proverbs 19:27
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. 26Anyone who robs his father or chases away his mother is a bad son who brings shame to his family. My 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. 29People who laugh at what is right will receive their punishment. Fools will be beaten, as they deserve.
