Proverbs 19:25

When a pestilent character is scourged, a simple man is made wiser: and if thou reprove a wise man, he will understand discretion.

Smite a scorner, and the simple will beware: and reprove one that hath understanding, and he will understand knowledge.

Flog a scoffer, and the simple will learn prudence; rebuke one who has understanding, and he will gain knowledge.
