Proverbs 26:3

"In the lips of him that hath understanding wisdom is found: but a rod is for the back of him that is void of understanding."

"What will ye? shall I come unto you with a rod, or in love, and in the spirit of meekness?"

"Be ye not as the horse, or as the mule, which have no understanding: whose mouth must be held in with bit and bridle, lest they come near unto thee."

"I told you before, and foretell you, as if I were present, the second time; and being absent now I write to them which heretofore have sinned, and to all other, that, if I come again, I will not spare:"

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

"Though thou shouldest bray a fool in a mortar among wheat with a pestle, yet will not his foolishness depart from him."

"And having in a readiness to revenge all disobedience, when your obedience is fulfilled."

"A reproof entereth more into a wise man than an hundred stripes into a fool. entereth...: or, aweth more a wise man, than to strike a fool an hundred times"

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