Proverbs 23:8-14 Darby Translation 1890 (DARBY)

8. Thy morsel which thou hast eaten must thou vomit up, and thou wilt have wasted thy sweet words.

9. Speak not in the ears of a foolish man, for he will despise the wisdom of thy words.

10. Remove not the ancient landmark; and enter not into the fields of the fatherless:

11. for their redeemer is mighty; he will plead their cause against thee.

12. Apply thy heart unto instruction, and thine ears to the words of knowledge.

13. Withhold not correction from the child; for if thou beatest him with the rod, he shall not die:

14. thou shalt beat him with the rod, and shalt deliver his soul from Sheol.
