11For the Lord is their redeemer; He is mighty, and will plead their cause with thee.
12Apply thy heart to instruction, And prepare thine ears for words of discretion.
13Refrain not from chastening a child; For if thou beat him with the rod, he shall not die.
14For thou shalt beat him with the rod, And shalt deliver his soul from death.
15Son, if thy heart be wise, Thou shalt also gladden my heart;
16And thy lips shall converse with my lips, If they be right.
17Let not thy heart envy sinners: But be thou in the fear of the Lord all the day.
18For if thou shouldest keep these things, thou shalt have posterity; And thy hope shall not be removed.
19Hear, my son, and be wise, And rightly direct the thoughts of thy heart.
20Be not a wine bibber, Neither continue long at feasts, and purchases of flesh:
