What does Proverbs 19:25 mean?

If you punish someone who mocks others, even the naive will learn a lesson. If you correct someone who’s wise, they’ll take it to heart. Proverbs 19:25 - Modern Text Bible

(Discipline teaches everyone, but wise people actually grow from correction, while even simple people can learn by watching consequences.)
