¹⁶Keep the commandments and keep your life;
despising them leads to death.

Proverbs 19:16

International Standard Version

¹⁶Whoever obeys a commandment keeps himself safe,^[a]
but someone who is contemptuous in conduct^[b] will die.

²⁰Get all the advice and instruction you can,
so you will be wise the rest of your life.

²⁰Listen to advice and accept discipline,
and you’ll be wise for the rest of your life.^[a]

²⁵If you punish a mocker, the simpleminded will learn a lesson;
if you correct the wise, they will be all the wiser.

²⁵If you scourge a scoffer,
the simple person may learn to be discreet;
rebuke a discerning man
and he will gain understanding.

²⁷If you stop listening to instruction, my child,
you will turn your back on knowledge.

²⁷My son, if you stop listening to instruction,
you will stray from the principles of knowledge.
