Proverbs 19:25

Treasury of Scripture Knowledge

Smite a scorner, and the simple will beware: and reprove one that hath understanding, and he will understand knowledge.

When a mocker is punished,
the inexperienced become wiser;
when one teaches a wise man,
he acquires knowledge.

All Israel will hear and be afraid, and they will no longer do anything evil like this among you.

Then all the men of his city will stone him to death. You must purge the evil from you, and all Israel will hear and be afraid.

Instruct a wise man, and he will be wiser still;
teach a righteous man, and he will learn more.

A fool despises his father’s discipline,
but a person who accepts correction is sensible.

A rebuke cuts into a perceptive person
more than a hundred lashes into a fool.

As many as I love, I rebuke and discipline. So be committed and repent.

All Israel will hear and be afraid, and they will no longer do anything evil like this among you.
