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.
15. My son, if thy heart be wise, my heart shall rejoice, even mine;
16. and my reins shall exult, when thy lips speak right things.
17. Let not thy heart envy sinners, but be thou in the fear of Jehovah all the day;
18. for surely there is a result, and thine expectation shall not be cut off.
