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.
Proverbs 23
