PROVERBS 19:25 — KING JAMES VERSION 0 0
“Smite a scorner, and the simple will beware: and reprove one that hath understanding, and he will understand knowledge.”
Flog a mocker, and the simple will learn prudence; rebuke the discerning, and they will gain knowledge—the proverb distinguishes how different types learn: fools require dramatic public consequence while the discerning benefit from direct correction, grounding pedagogy in realism about human nature.
