29 Penalties are prepared for mockers, and beatings for the backs of fools.
29 Judgments are prepared for scorners, and stripes for the back of fools.
29 Condemnation is ready for scoffers, and beating for the backs of fools.
29 The irreverent have to learn reverence the hard way; only a slap in the face brings fools to attention.
29 Judgments are prepared for scoffers, And beatings for the backs of fools.
29 Punishment is made for mockers, and the backs of fools are made to be beaten.

Commentary on Proverbs 19:29
(Read Proverbs 19:29)
The unbelief of man shall not make God's threatenings of no effect. Christ himself, when bearing sins not his own, was not spared. Justice and judgment took hold of our blessed Surety; and will God spare obstinate sinners?
