¹¹ My son, despise not the ^[a]chastening of Jehovah;
Neither be weary of his reproof:
¹² For whom Jehovah loveth he reproveth,
Even as a father the son in whom he delighteth.

¹⁷ He ^[a]is in the way of life that heedeth ^[b]correction;
But he that forsaketh reproof ^[c]erreth.

12 Whoso loveth ^[a]correction loveth knowledge;
But he that hateth reproof is brutish.

¹⁸ Poverty and shame shall be to him that refuseth ^[a]correction;
But he that regardeth reproof shall be honored.

²⁴ He that spareth his rod hateth his son;
But he that loveth him chasteneth him ^[a]betimes.

⁵ A fool despiseth his father’s ^[a]correction;
But he that regardeth reproof ^[b]getteth prudence.

¹⁰ There is grievous correction for him that forsaketh the way;
And he that hateth reproof shall die.

¹² A scoffer loveth not to be reproved;
He will not go unto the wise.

³² He that refuseth ^[a]correction despiseth his own soul;
But he that hearkeneth to reproof getteth ^[b]understanding.

¹⁸ Chasten thy son, seeing there is hope;
And set not thy heart on ^[a]his destruction.
