Proverbs 19:26 Context
24A slouthfull man hideth his hand in his bosome, and wil not so much as bring it to his mouth againe. 25Smite a scorner, and the simple will beware; and reprooue one that hath vnderstanding, and he will vnderstand knowledge. 26He that wasteth his father, and chaseth away his mother, is a sonne that causeth shame, and bringeth reproch. 27Cease, my sonne, to heare the instruction, that causeth to erre from the words of knowledge. 28An vngodly witnesse scorneth iudgement: and the mouth of the wicked deuoureth iniquitie.
