13Do not keep back training from the child: for even if you give him blows with the rod, it will not be death to him.
14Give him blows with the rod, and keep his soul safe from the underworld.
15My son, if your heart becomes wise, I, even I, will be glad in heart;
16And my thoughts in me will be full of joy when your lips say right things.
17Have no envy of sinners in your heart, but keep in the fear of the Lord all through the day;
18For without doubt there is a future, and your hope will not be cut off.
19Give ear, my son, and be wise, guiding your heart in the right way.
20Do not be among those who give themselves to wine-drinking, or among those who make themselves full with meat:
21For those who take delight in drink and feasting will come to be in need; and through love of sleep a man will be poorly clothed.
22Give ear to your father whose child you are, and do not keep honour from your mother when she is old.
23Get for yourself that which is true, and do not let it go for money; get wisdom and teaching and good sense.
24The father of the upright man will be glad, and he who has a wise child will have joy because of him.
