Proverbs 23:10-22
-
10 Remove not the old landmark; and enter not into the fields of the fatherless:
-
11 For their redeemer is mighty; he shall plead their cause with 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 beatest him with the rod, he shall not die.
-
14 Thou shalt beat him with the rod, and shalt deliver his soul from hell.
-
15 My son, if thine heart be wise, my heart shall rejoice, 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 an end; and thine expectation 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 riotous 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.
