15Folly is bound in the heart of a child; the rod of correction shall drive it far from him.
16He that oppresseth the poor, it is to enrich him; he that giveth to the rich, bringeth 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: they shall be together fitted on thy lips.
19That thy confidence may be in Jehovah, I have made them known to thee this day, even to thee.
