Context of Proverbs 19:27
25Strike a scoffer and the naïve will learn caution. rebuke a discerning person and he will gain knowledge. 26He who robs his father and drives away his mother is a son who brings shame and disgrace! My son, if you stop heeding instruction, you will stray from words of knowledge. 28A crooked witness scorns justice, and a wicked mouth devours iniquity. 29Judgments are prepared for scoffers, and floggings for the back of fools.
