11for their Redeemer is strong and he will plead their case against you.
12Apply your heart to instruction and your ears to words of knowledge.
13Do not withhold instruction from a child, for if you discipline him, he will not die.
14It is you who must beat him with the rod and save his soul from Sheol.
15My son, if your heart is wise, then my heart also will be glad;
16my inmost being will rejoice when your lips speak what is right.
