¹⁶ Those who obey the commands protect themselves,
    but those who are careless will die.

²⁰ Listen to advice and accept correction,
    and in the end you will be wise.

²⁵ Whip those who make fun of wisdom, and perhaps foolish people will gain some wisdom.
    Correct those with understanding, and they will gain knowledge.

²⁷ Don’t stop listening to correction, my child,
    or you will forget what you have already learned.
