Proverbs 19:25-27
New International Reader's Version
25 If you whip a person who makes fun of others,
childish people will learn to be wise.
If you warn those who already understand what is right,
they will gain even more knowledge.
26 Anyone who robs their father and drives out their mother
is a child who brings shame and dishonor.
27 My son, if you stop listening to what I teach you,
you will wander away from the words of knowledge.

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.
