Proverbs 23:11-16 New King James Version (NKJV)

11. For their Redeemer is mighty;He will plead their cause against you.

12. Apply your heart to instruction,And your ears to words of knowledge.

13. Do not withhold correction from a child,For if you beat him with a rod, he will not die.

14. You shall beat him with a rod,And deliver his soul from hell.

15. My son, if your heart is wise,My heart will rejoice—indeed, I myself;

16. Yes, my inmost being will rejoiceWhen your lips speak right things.
