Proverbs 19:27

This is the only verse in Proverbs 10:1 to Proverbs 22:16 where Solomon speaks to his own son. These Chapter s form a very long lesson. Perhaps Solomon’s son is tired. Perhaps the son wants to do something else. But he must not walk away. He needs to listen to this lesson. He needs to learn this knowledge. He must be patient and learn more.

v28 A witness who lies in court is laughing at the law itself.

An evil man enjoys evil things. He is like a drunk who is always wanting another drink.

v29 Punishments are ready for those who insult.

Whips are ready for the backs of fools.
