6. Don’t eat the food of him who has a stingy eye,and don’t crave his delicacies:
7. for as he thinks about the cost, so he is.“Eat and drink!” he says to you,but his heart is not with you.
8. The morsel which you have eaten you shall vomit up,and lose your good words.
9. Don’t speak in the ears of a fool,for he will despise the wisdom of your words.
10. Don’t move the ancient boundary stone.Don’t encroach on the fields of the fatherless:
11. for their Defender is strong.He will plead their case against you.
12. Apply your heart to instruction,and your ears to the words of knowledge.
13. Don’t withhold correction from a child.If you punish him with the rod, he will not die.
14. Punish him with the rod,and save his soul from Sheol.
15. My son, if your heart is wise,then my heart will be glad, even mine:
16. yes, my heart will rejoice,when your lips speak what is right.
17. Don’t let your heart envy sinners;but rather fear the Lord all day long.
