⁸The morsel which thou hast eaten shalt thou vomit up, and lose thy sweet words.

⁹Speak not in the ears of a fool; for he will despise the wisdom of thy words.

¹⁰Remove not the ancient landmark; and enter not into the fields of the fatherless;

¹²Apply thy heart unto instruction, and thine ears to the words of knowledge.

¹³Withhold not correction from the child; for though thou beat him with the rod, he will not die.

¹⁵My son, if thy heart be wise, my heart will be glad, even mine;
