11. Do not give him his own way in his youth,and do not ignore his follies.
12. Bow down his head in his youth,beat his sides while he is still young,Lest he become stubborn and disobey you,and leave you disconsolate.
13. Discipline your son and make heavy his yoke,lest you be offended by his shamelessness.
14. Better the poor in vigorous healththan the rich with bodily ills.
15. I would rather have bodily health than any gold,and contentment of spirit than pearls.
16. No riches are greater than a healthy body;and no happiness than a joyful heart.
17. Better is death than a wretched life,everlasting sleep than constant illness.
