Proverbs 19:25-27
Contemporary English Version
25 Stupid fools learn good sense
by seeing others punished;
a sensible person learns
by being corrected.
26 Disgraceful children
rob their father
and chase their mother away.
27 If you stop learning,
you will forget
what you already know.

rebuke the discerning,(A) and they will gain knowledge.(B)
26 Whoever robs their father and drives out their mother(C)
is a child who brings shame and disgrace.
27 Stop listening to instruction, my son,(D)
and you will stray from the words of knowledge.
