- 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.

- 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.
