^11 (A)My son, do not reject the ^[a]discipline of the Lord
Or loathe His rebuke,
¹² For ^(B)whom the Lord loves He disciplines,
Just ^(C)as a father disciplines the son in whom he delights.

¹⁷ One who ^(A)is on the path of life follows instruction,
But one who ignores a rebuke goes astray.

12 One who loves ^[a]discipline loves knowledge,
But one who hates rebuke is stupid.

¹⁸ Poverty and shame will come to one who ^(A)neglects ^[a]discipline,
But one who complies with rebuke will be honored.

²⁴ He who ^(A)withholds his ^[a]rod hates his son,
But he who loves him ^[b](B)disciplines him diligently.

⁵ A fool ^[a]rejects his father’s discipline,
But he who complies with rebuke is sensible.

¹⁰ There is severe punishment for one who abandons the way;
One who hates a rebuke will die.

¹² A ^(A)scoffer does not love one who rebukes him;
He will not go to the wise.

³² One who ^(A)neglects discipline ^(B)rejects himself,
But one who ^(C)listens to a rebuke acquires ^[a]understanding.
