¹⁶ He who keeps the commandment keeps his soul,
    but he who is contemptuous in his ways shall die.

²⁰ Listen to counsel and receive instruction,
    that you may be wise in your latter end.

²⁵ Flog a scoffer, and the simple will learn prudence;
    rebuke one who has understanding, and he will gain knowledge.

²⁷ If you stop listening to instruction, my son,
    you will stray from the words of knowledge.
