Proverbs 22:15-19

¹⁵Foolishness is bound 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 riches , and he that giveth to the rich, shall surely come to want.

¹⁷Bow down thy ear, and hear the words of the wise, and apply thy heart to my knowledge.

¹⁸For it is a pleasant thing if thou keepest them within thee; they shall withal be fitted in thy lips.

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