¹⁰ A rebuke enters deeper into one who has understanding
    than a hundred lashes into a fool.
¹¹ An evil man seeks only rebellion;
    therefore a cruel messenger shall be sent against him.

²⁰ Listen to counsel and receive instruction,
    that you may be wise in your latter end.

²⁷ If you stop listening to instruction, my son,
    you will stray from the words of knowledge.

² The terror of a king is like the roaring of a lion.
    He who provokes him to anger forfeits his own life.

⁶ Many men claim to be men of unfailing love,
    but who can find a faithful man?

⁸ A king who sits on the throne of judgment
    scatters away all evil with his eyes.

¹¹ Even a child makes himself known by his doings,
    whether his work is pure, and whether it is right.

³⁰ Wounding blows cleanse away evil,
    and beatings purge the innermost parts.

¹¹ He who loves purity of heart and speaks gracefully
    is the king’s friend.
