9. Speak not in the ears of a fool: for he will despise the wisdom of thy words.
10. Remove not the old landmark; and enter not into the fields of the fatherless:
11. For their redeemer is mighty; he will plead their cause with thee.
12. Apply thy heart to instruction, and thy ears to the words of knowledge.
13. Withhold not correction from the child: for if thou beatest him with the rod, he shall not die.
14. Thou shalt beat him with the rod, and shalt deliver his soul from hell.
15. My son, if thy heart be wise, my heart shall rejoice, even mine.
16. Yes, my reins shall rejoice, when thy lips speak right things.
17. Let not thy heart envy sinners: but be thou in the fear of the LORD all the day long.
18. For surely there is an end; and thy expectation shall not be cut off.
19. Hear thou, my son, and be wise, and guide thy heart in the way.
