12. Bring your heart to discipline, And your ears to words of knowledge.
13. Do not withhold discipline from a child; If you beat him with a rod, he does not die.
14. Beat him with a rod And deliver his being from the grave.
15. My son, if your heart shall be wise, My heart rejoices, even I,
16. And my kidneys exult When your lips speak what is straight.
17. Do not let your heart envy sinners, But be in the fear of יהוה all day long;
18. For certain, there is a hereafter, And let your expectancy not be cut off.
