Proverbs 19:25

Strike a scoffer and the simple will be wary. Reprove someone who has understanding, and he will discern knowledge.

When the scoffer is punished the simple (naive) is made wise. When the wise is instructed he gains knowledge.

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

All the men of his city shall stone him to death. In that way you will remove the evil from your midst. All Israel will hear about it and fear.

Correct a scoffer (mocker) (scorner) and he will hate you. Reprove a wise man and he will love you.

A fool despises his father's instruction, but he who accepts discipline is prudent.

Reproof influences a wise man more than a hundred stripes does to a fool.

I reprove and discipline those whom I love: be zealous therefore, and repent.
