13. Do not withhold discipline from a child; if you strike him with a rod, he will not die.
14. If you strike him with the rod,you will save his soul from Sheol.
15. My son, if your heart is wise,my heart too will be glad.
16. My inmost being will exultwhen your lips speak what is right.
17. Let not your heart envy sinners,but continue in the fear of the Lord all the day.
18. Surely there is a future,and your hope will not be cut off.
19. Hear, my son, and be wise,and direct your heart in the way.
