Context of Proverbs 19:27
25Strike a scoffer and the naive may become shrewd, But reprove one who has understanding and he will gain knowledge. 26He who assaults his father and drives his mother away Is a shameful and disgraceful son. Cease listening, my son, to discipline, And you will stray from the words of knowledge. 28A rascally witness makes a mockery of justice, And the mouth of the wicked spreads iniquity. 29Judgments are prepared for scoffers, And blows for the back of fools.
