Proverbs 19:24-27
New American Standard Bible

Chapter 19

24The lazy one buries his hand in the dish, But will not even bring it back to his mouth. 25Strike a scoffer and the naive may become clever, But rebuke one who has understanding, and he will gain knowledge. 26He who assaults his father and drives his mother away Is a shameful and disgraceful son. 27Stop listening, my son, to discipline, And you will stray from the words of knowledge.
King James Version

Chapter 19

24A slothful man hideth his hand in his bosom, and will not so much as bring it to his mouth again.
25Smite a scorner, and the simple will beware: and reprove one that hath understanding, and he will understand knowledge.
26He that wasteth his father, and chaseth away his mother, is a son that causeth shame, and bringeth reproach.
27Cease, my son, to hear the instruction that causeth to err from the words of knowledge.
Christian Standard Bible

Chapter 19

24The slacker buries his hand in the bowl; he doesn’t even bring it back to his mouth!
25Strike a mocker, and the inexperienced learn a lesson; rebuke the discerning, and he gains knowledge.
26The one who plunders his father and evicts his mother is a disgraceful and shameful son.
27If you stop listening to correction, my son, you will stray from the words of knowledge.
New Living Translation

Chapter 19

24Lazy people take food in their hand but don’t even lift it to their mouth.
25If you punish a mocker, the simpleminded will learn a lesson; if you correct the wise, they will be all the wiser.
26Children who mistreat their father or chase away their mother are an embarrassment and a public disgrace.
27If you stop listening to instruction, my child, you will turn your back on knowledge.
English Standard Version

Chapter 19

24 The sluggard buries his hand in the dish and will not even bring it back to his mouth. 25 Strike a scoffer, and the simple will learn prudence; reprove a man of understanding, and he will gain knowledge. 26He who does violence to his father and chases away his mother is a son who brings shame and reproach. 27Cease to hear instruction, my son, and you will stray from the words of knowledge.
New International Version

Chapter 19

24A sluggard buries his hand in the dish; he will not even bring it back to his mouth!
25Flog a mocker, and the simple will learn prudence; rebuke the discerning, and they will gain knowledge.
26Whoever robs their father and drives out their mother is a child who brings shame and disgrace.
27Stop listening to instruction, my son, and you will stray from the words of knowledge.
New King James Version

Chapter 19

24 A lazy man buries his hand in the bowl, And will not so much as bring it to his mouth again. 25Strike a scoffer, and the simple will become wary; Rebuke one who has understanding, and he will discern knowledge. 26He who mistreats his father and chases away his mother Is a son who causes shame and brings reproach. 27Cease listening to instruction, my son, And you will stray from the words of knowledge.
