15Folly is bound to the heart of a child; But the rod of correction will drive it far from him.
16He that oppresseth the poor to increase his wealth, And he that giveth to the rich, shall surely come to want.
17Incline thine ear, and hear the words of the wise, And give heed to my instruction!
18For it will be a pleasant thing, if thou keep them in thy bosom, When they are altogether established upon thy lips.
19That thy trust may be in the LORD, I have this day given to thee instruction, yea, to thee.
20Behold, I have written to thee excellent things Concerning counsel and knowledge;
21That I may make thee know rectitude, and words of truth; That thou mayst bring back words of truth to them that send thee.
22Rob not the poor man, because he is poor, Nor crush thou the destitute at the gate;
23For the LORD will maintain their cause, And despoil their spoilers of life.
24Make no friendship with a passionate man, Nor be the companion of a man prone to wrath;
25Lest thou learn his ways, And take to thyself a snare.
26Be not thou one of those who strike hands, Of those who are sureties for debts.
27When thou hast nothing to pay, Why should thy bed be taken from under thee?
28Remove not the ancient landmark, Which thy fathers have made.
29Seest thou a man diligent in his business? He shall be the minister of kings; He shall not serve obscure men.
