Proverbs 19:25
Thomson 1808
When a criminal is scourged, a simpleton [merely] becometh more wary: but if thou rebukest a wise man, he will call to mind discernment.
Brenton 1851
When a pestilent character is scourged, a simple man is made wiser: and if thou reprove a wise man, he will understand discretion.
Greek · Brenton
Λοιμοῦ μαστιγουμένου, ἄφρων πανουργότερος γίνεται· ἐὰν δὲ ἐλέγχῃς ἄνδρα φρόνιμον, νοήσει αἴσθησιν.
