¹⁶ 
He who keeps and obeys the commandment [of the Lord] keeps (guards) his own life,
But he who is careless of his ways and conduct will die.^(A)

²⁰ 
Listen to counsel, receive instruction, and accept correction,
That you may be wise in the time to come.

²⁵ 
Strike a scoffer [for refusing to learn], and the naive may [be warned and] become prudent;
Reprimand one who has understanding and a teachable spirit, and he will gain knowledge and insight.

²⁷ 
Cease listening, my son, to instruction and discipline
And you will stray from the words of knowledge.
