- Do not speak in the hearing of a fool, For he will despise the wisdom of your words.
- Do not move the ancient boundary Or go into the fields of the fatherless,
- For their Redeemer is strong; He will plead their case against you.
- Apply your heart to discipline And your ears to words of knowledge.
- Do not hold back discipline from the child, Although you strike him with the rod, he will not die.
|
- You shall strike him with the rod And rescue his soul from Sheol.
- My son, if your heart is wise, My own heart also will be glad;
- And my inmost being will rejoice When your lips speak what is right.
- Do not let your heart envy sinners, But live in the fear of the LORD always.
- Surely there is a future, And your hope will not be cut off.
