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.
