15Folly is attached to the heart of a child, but the rod and instruction are then far from him.
16He that oppresses the poor, increases his own substance, yet gives to the rich so as to make it less.
17Incline thine ear to the words of wise men: hear also my word, and apply thine heart,
18that thou mayest know that they are good: and if thou lay them to heart, they shall also gladden thee on thy lips.
19That thy hope may be in the Lord, and he may make thy way known to thee.
20And do thou too repeatedly record them for thyself on the table of thine heart, for counsel and knowledge.
21I therefore teach thee truth, and knowledge good to hear; that thou mayest answer words of truth to them that question thee.
22Do no violence to the poor, for he is needy: neither dishonour the helpless man in the gates.
23For the Lord will plead his cause, and thou shalt deliver thy soul in safety.
24Be not companion to a furious man; neither lodge with a passionate man:
25lest thou learn of his ways, and get snares to thy soul.
26Become not surety from respect of a man's person.
27For if those have not whence to give compensation, they will take the bed that is under thee.
28Remove not the old landmarks, which thy fathers placed.
29It is fit that an observant man and one diligent in his business should attend on kings, and not attend on slothful men.
