13. Do not withhold correction from a child,for if you beat him with the rod, he will not die.
14. You shall beat him with the rod,and deliver his soul from death.
15. My son, if your heart is wise,my heart will rejoice—even mine.
16. Yes, my inmost being will rejoicewhen your lips speak right things.
17. Do not let your heart envy sinners,but continue in the fear of the Lord all day long;
18. for surely there is an end,and your expectation will not be cut off.
19. Hear, my son, and be wise;and guide your heart in the way.
20. Do not be among winebibbers,among riotous eaters of meat;
21. for the drunkard and the glutton will come to poverty,and drowsiness will clothe a man with rags.
22. Listen to your father who gave you life,and do not despise your mother when she is old.
23. Buy the truth, and do not sell it,also wisdom and instruction and understanding.
24. The father of the righteous will greatly rejoice,and he who fathers a wise child will have joy of him.
25. Your father and your mother will be glad,and she who bore you will rejoice.
26. My son, give me your heart,and let your eyes observe my ways.
