Proverbs 19:25

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

Flog a scoffer, and the simple will learn prudence; Rebuke one who has understanding, and he will gain knowledge.

Smite a scoffer, and the simple will learn prudence; And reprove one that hath understanding, `and' he will understand knowledge.

A scorner smite, and the simple acts prudently, And give reproof to the intelligent, He understandeth knowledge.

Strike a mocker, and the simple will beware; rebuke the discerning man, and he will gain knowledge.
