9Speak not in the hearing 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:
11For their Redeemer is strong; 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 beat him with the rod, he will 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 will be glad, even mine:
16Yea, my heart will rejoice, When thy lips speak right things.
17Let not thy heart envy sinners; But be thou in the fear of Jehovah all the day long:
18For surely there is a reward; And thy hope shall not be cut off.
19Hear thou, my son, and be wise, And guide thy heart in the way.
20Be not among winebibbers, Among gluttonous eaters of flesh:
21For the drunkard and the glutton shall come to poverty; And drowsiness will clothe a man with rags.
22Hearken unto thy father that begat thee, And despise not thy mother when she is old.
23Buy the truth, and sell it not; Yea, wisdom, and instruction, and understanding.
