13 A wise son heeds his father’s instruction,(A)But a scoffer does not listen to rebuke.
13 He who (A)despises the word will be destroyed,But he who fears the commandment will be rewarded.
16 (A)Every prudent man acts with knowledge,But a fool lays open his folly.
24 (A)He who spares his rod hates his son,But he who loves him disciplines him [a]promptly.
