8Thy morsel thou hast eaten thou dost vomit up, And hast marred thy words that are sweet.
9In the ears of a fool speak not, For he treadeth on the wisdom of thy words.
10Remove not a border of olden times, And into fields of the fatherless enter not,
11For their Redeemer is strong, He doth plead their cause with thee.
12Bring in to instruction thy heart, And thine ear to sayings of knowledge.
13Withhold not from a youth chastisement, When thou smitest him with a rod he dieth not.
14Thou with a rod smitest him, And his soul from Sheol thou deliverest.
15My son, if thy heart hath been wise, My heart rejoiceth, even mine,
16And my reins exult when thy lips speak uprightly.
17Let not thy heart be envious at sinners, But — in the fear of Jehovah all the day.
18For, is there a posterity? Then thy hope is not cut off.
19Hear thou, my son, and be wise, And make happy in the way thy heart,
20Be not thou among quaffers of wine, Among gluttonous ones of flesh,
21For the quaffer and glutton become poor, And drowsiness clotheth with rags.
