¹⁶ He that keepeth the commandment keepeth his soul;
But he that ^[a]is careless of his ways shall die.

²⁰ Hear counsel, and receive ^[a]instruction,
That thou mayest be wise in thy latter end.

²⁵ Smite a scoffer, and the simple will learn prudence;
And reprove one that hath understanding, and he will understand knowledge.

²⁷ Cease, my son, to hear instruction
Only to err from the words of knowledge.
