11for the Lord is their redeemer; he is mighty, and will plead their cause with thee.
12Apply thine 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 thine 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 thine hope shall not be removed.
19Hear, my son, and be wise, and rightly direct the thoughts of thine heart.
20Be not a wine-bibber, neither continue long at feasts, and purchases of flesh:
21for every drunkard and whoremonger shall be poor; and every sluggard shall clothe himself with tatters and ragged garments.
22Hearken, my son, to thy father which begot thee, and despise not thy mother because she is grown old.
