Proverbs 22:15-19

¹⁵Foolishness is bound up in the heart of a child; But the rod of correction shall drive it far from him.

¹⁶He that oppresseth the poor to increase his gain, And he that giveth to the rich, shall come only to want.

¹⁷Incline thine ear, and hear the words of the wise, And apply thy heart unto my knowledge.

¹⁸For it is a pleasant thing if thou keep them within thee, If they be established together upon thy lips.

¹⁹That thy trust may be in Jehovah, I have made them known to thee this day, even to thee.
