When thou smitest a scorner, the simple will become prudent; and when one that hath understanding is reproved, he will understand knowledge.
King James Version (KJV) - Proverbs 19:25 >Smite a scorner, and the simple will beware: and reprove one that hath understanding, [and] he will understand knowledge.
Berean Study Bible (BSB) - Proverbs 19:25 >Strike a mocker, and the simple will beware; rebuke the discerning man, and he will gain knowledge.
