Context of Proverbs 19:26

24The lazy one buries his hand in the dish, But will not even bring it back to his mouth. 25Strike a scoffer and the naive may become clever, But rebuke one who has understanding, and he will gain knowledge. He who assaults his father and drives his mother away Is a shameful and disgraceful son. 27Stop listening, my son, to discipline, And you will stray from the words of knowledge. 28A worthless witness makes a mockery of justice, And the mouth of the wicked swallows wrongdoing.
