Proverbs 23:8-14 English Standard Version (ESV)

8. You will vomit up the morsels that you have eaten,and waste your pleasant words.

9. Do not speak in the hearing of a fool,for he will despise the good sense of your words.

10. Do not move an ancient landmarkor enter the fields of the fatherless,

11. for their Redeemer is strong;he will plead their cause against you.

12. Apply your heart to instructionand your ear to words of knowledge.

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.
