- Do not speak to a fool, for he will scorn the wisdom of your words.
- Do not move an ancient boundary stone or encroach on the fields of the fatherless,
- for their Defender is strong; he will take up their case against you.
- Apply your heart to instruction and your ears to words of knowledge.
- Do not withhold discipline from a child; if you punish him with the rod, he will not die.
|
- Speak not in the ears of a fool: for he will despise the wisdom of thy words.
- Remove not the old landmark; and enter not into the fields of the fatherless:
- For their redeemer is mighty; he shall plead their cause with thee.
- Apply thine heart unto instruction, and thine ears to the words of knowledge.
- Withhold not correction from the child: for if thou beatest him with the rod, he shall not die.
|
- Punish him with the rod and save his soul from death.
- My son, if your heart is wise, then my heart will be glad;
- my inmost being will rejoice when your lips speak what is right.
- Do not let your heart envy sinners, but always be zealous for the fear of the LORD.
- There is surely a future hope for you, and your hope will not be cut off.
|
- Thou shalt beat him with the rod, and shalt deliver his soul from hell.
- My son, if thine heart be wise, my heart shall rejoice, even mine.
- Yea, my reins shall rejoice, when thy lips speak right things.
- Let not thine heart envy sinners: but be thou in the fear of the LORD all the day long.
- For surely there is an end; and thine expectation shall not be cut off.
