Proverbs 19:27-29
New American Bible (Revised Edition)
27 My son, stop attending to correction;
start straying from words of knowledge.[a]
28 An unprincipled witness scoffs at justice,
and the mouth of the wicked pours out iniquity.
29 Rods are prepared for scoffers,
and blows for the backs of fools.(A)
