Judgments are prepared for scorners, and stripes for the back of fools.

Verse 29 is found in chapter 19 of Proverbs. The fear of the Lord leads to life and satisfaction, while laziness prevents a person from taking advantage even of an opportunity for sustenance. A son who mistreats his parents receives a severe warning, and the false witness appears again as an agent of destruction. Discipline occupies an important place: correction seeks to stop folly before it becomes an entrenched pattern of conduct.

Den Spöttern sind Strafen bereitet, und Schläge auf der Narren Rücken.
Aparejados están juicios para los escarnecedores, Y azotes para los cuerpos de los insensatos.
Les châtiments sont prêts pour les moqueurs, Et les coups pour le dos des insensés.
I giudicii sono apparecchiati agli schernitori, E le percosse al dosso degli stolti
Preparados estão os juízos para os escarnecedores, e os açoites para as costas dos tolos.
刑罰是為傲慢人預備的, 鞭打則是為愚昧人的背預備的。
