Proverbs 23:9-14 New Living Translation (NLT)

9. Don’t waste your breath on fools,for they will despise the wisest advice.

10. Don’t cheat your neighbor by moving the ancient boundary markers;don’t take the land of defenseless orphans.

11. For their Redeemer is strong;he himself will bring their charges against you.

12. Commit yourself to instruction;listen carefully to words of knowledge.

13. Don’t fail to discipline your children.The rod of punishment won’t kill them.

14. Physical disciplinemay well save them from death.
