Proverbs 19:27-29

New Life Version

²⁷ My son, stop listening to teaching that will cause you to turn away from the words of much learning.

²⁸ A man without worth who tells all he knows laughs at what is right and fair, and the mouth of the sinful spreads wrong-doing.

²⁹ Ways of punishing are made ready for those who laugh at the truth, and beatings are for the back of fools.
