Bible Proverbs

25 Strike a scoffer, and the simple will learn prudence; reprove a man of understanding, and he will gain knowledge.

9 If one turns away his ear from hearing the law, even his prayer is an abomination.

25 The desire of the sluggard kills him, for his hands refuse to labor. 26 All day long he craves and craves, but the righteous gives and does not hold back.
