8Thy morsel which thou hast eaten must thou vomit up, and thou wilt have wasted thy sweet words.
9Speak not in the ears of a foolish man, for he will despise the wisdom of thy words.
10Remove not the ancient landmark; and enter not into the fields of the fatherless:
11for their redeemer is mighty; he will plead their cause against thee.
12Apply thy heart unto instruction, and thine ears to the words of knowledge.
13Withhold not correction from the child; for if thou beatest him with the rod, he shall not die:
14thou shalt beat him with the rod, and shalt deliver his soul from Sheol.
15My son, if thy heart be wise, my heart shall rejoice, even mine;
16and my reins shall exult, when thy lips speak right things.
