13Withhold not from a lad correction; for if thou beat him with the rod, he will not die.
14Thou wilt indeed beat him with the rod; but thou wilt deliver his soul from perdition.
15My son, If thy heart be wise, my heart shall rejoice, even mine.
16And my reins shall exult when thy lips speak what is equitable.
17Let not thy heart be envious against sinners; but remain in the fear of the lord all the time.
18For surely there is a future, and thy hope will not be cut off.
19Hear thou, my son, and become wise, and guide thy heart on the right way.
20Be not among those that drink wine immoderately, among those that over-indulge in eating flesh:
21For the drunkard and the glutton will come to poverty; and drowsiness clotheth a man in rags.
22Hearken unto thy father that hath begotten thee, and despise not thy mother although she be old.
