Proverbs 19:25

Strike a scoffer and the naive may become shrewd,
But reprove one who has understanding and he will gain knowledge.

When the scoffer is punished, the naive becomes wise;
But when the wise is instructed, he receives knowledge.

Then all Israel will hear and be afraid, and will never again do such a wicked thing among you.

Then all the men of his city shall stone him to death; so you shall remove the evil from your midst, and all Israel will hear of it and fear.

Do not reprove a scoffer, or he will hate you,
Reprove a wise man and he will love you.

A fool rejects his father’s discipline,
But he who regards reproof is sensible.

A rebuke goes deeper into one who has understanding
Than a hundred blows into a fool.

Those whom I love, I reprove and discipline; therefore be zealous and repent.

When the scoffer is punished, the naive becomes wise;

Give instruction to a wise man and he will be still wiser,
Teach a righteous man and he will increase his learning.

A fool rejects his father’s discipline,
But he who regards reproof is sensible.

A rebuke goes deeper into one who has understanding
Than a hundred blows into a fool.

Those whom I love, I reprove and discipline; therefore be zealous and repent.
