Proverbs 23:11-14

¹¹because Yahweh is strong, and he is like a relative that has the responsibility to defend them, he will stand up in court and argue for them and against you.

¹²Pay attention to what your teachers teach you, and try to learn from the wise things that they say.

¹³Do not refuse to discipline your children; if you punish/spank them, it will not cause them to die,

¹⁴and it may save them from going to the place where dead people are.
