In context
24The sluggard buries his hand in the dish and will not even bring it back to his mouth. 25Strike a scoffer and the simple grow shrewd; reprove the discerning and he gains knowledge. 26Whoever assaults his father and drives out his mother is a son who brings shame and disgrace. 27Stop listening, my son, to discipline that leads you away from words of knowledge. 28A worthless witness makes a mockery of justice, and the mouth of the wicked swallows down evil.
