12Apply thy heart to instruction, and thy ears to the words of knowledge.
13Withhold not correction from the child: for if thou beatest him with the rod, he shall not die.
14Thou shalt beat him with the rod, and shalt deliver his soul from hell.
15My son, if thy heart be wise, my heart shall rejoice, even mine.
16Yes, my reins shall rejoice, when thy lips speak right things.
17Let not thy heart envy sinners: but be thou in the fear of the LORD all the day long.
18For surely there is an end; and thy expectation shall not be cut off.
19Hear thou, my son, and be wise, and guide thy heart in the way.
