Proverbs 23:13-19

¹³Do not refuse to discipline your children; if you punish/spank them, it will not cause them to die,

¹⁴and it may save them from going to the place where dead people are.

¹⁵My son/child, if you SYN become wise, I SYN will be very happy.

¹⁶I SYN will rejoice when I hear you SYN say what is right/wise.

¹⁷Do not envy sinful people; instead, revere Yahweh all of your life.

¹⁸If you do that, you will be happy in the future, and God will certainly do for you what you are confidently expecting him to do.

¹⁹My son/child, listen carefully to me and become wise, and think about ◄all that you do/your behavior►.
