11for the Lord is their redeemer; he is mighty, and will plead their cause with you.
12Apply your heart to instruction, and prepare your ears for words of discretion.
13Refrain not from chastening a child; for if you beat him with the rod, he shall not die.
14For you shall beat him with the rod, and shall deliver his soul from death.
15Son, if your heart be wise, you shall also gladden my heart;
16and your lips shall converse with my lips, if they be right.
17Let not your heart envy sinners: but be you in the fear of the Lord all the day.
18For if you should keep these things, you shall have posterity; and your hope shall not be removed.
19Hear, my son, and be wise, and rightly direct the thoughts of your heart.
