8. The morsel which thou hast eaten shalt thou vomit up, and lose thy sweet words.
9. Speak not in the hearing of a fool; 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 strong; he shall plead their cause against thee.
12. Apply thine heart unto instruction, and thine ears to the words of knowledge.
13. Withhold not correction from the child: for if thou beat him with the rod, he shall not die.

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.
