14. Thou shalt beat him with the rod, and shalt deliver his soul from Sheol.
15. My son, if thine heart be wise, my heart shall be glad, even mine:
16. Yea, my reins shall rejoice, when thy lips speak right things.
17. Let not thine heart envy sinners: but be thou in the fear of the Lord all the day long:
18. For surely there is a reward; and thy hope shall not be cut off.
19. Hear thou, my son, and be wise, and guide thine heart in the way.
20. Be not among winebibbers; among gluttonous eaters of flesh:
21. For the drunkard and the glutton shall come to poverty: and drowsiness shall clothe a man with rags.
22. Hearken unto thy father that begat thee, and despise not thy mother when she is old.
23. Buy the truth, and sell it not; yea, wisdom, and instruction, and understanding.
