Proverbs 19:25

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

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

Note will beware: Heb. will be cunning

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.
