11For their redeemer is strong; he will indeed plead their cause with thee.
12Apply thy heart unto instruction, and thy ears to the sayings of knowledge.
13Withhold not from a lad correction; for if thou beat him with the rod, he will not die.
14Thou wilt indeed beat him with the rod; but thou wilt deliver his soul from perdition.
15My son, If thy heart be wise, my heart shall rejoice, even mine.
16And my reins shall exult when thy lips speak what is equitable.
Proverbs 23
