16 One who (A)keeps the commandment keeps his soul,But one who [a]is careless of [b]conduct will die.
20 (A)Listen to advice and accept discipline,So that you may be wise [a]the rest of your days.
25 (A)Strike a scoffer and the naive may become clever,But (B)rebuke one who has understanding, and he will [a]gain knowledge.
27 Stop listening, my son, to discipline,And you will stray from the words of knowledge.
