Proverbs 19:27-29 The Message (MSG)

27. If you quit listening, dear child, and strike off on your own,you’ll soon be out of your depth.

28. An unprincipled witness desecrates justice;the mouths of the wicked spew malice.

29. The irreverent have to learn reverence the hard way;only a slap in the face brings fools to attention.
