^11 (A)My son, do not reject the ^[a]discipline of the Lord
Or loathe His reproof,
¹² For ^(B)whom the Lord loves He reproves,
Even ^(C)as a father corrects the son in whom he delights.

¹⁷ He ^(A)is on the path of life who heeds instruction,
But he who ignores reproof goes astray.

12 Whoever loves ^[a]discipline loves knowledge,
But he who hates reproof is stupid.

¹⁸ Poverty and shame will come to him who ^(A)neglects ^[a]discipline,
But he who regards reproof will be honored.

²⁴ He who ^(A)withholds his ^[a]rod hates his son,
But he who loves him ^[b](B)disciplines him diligently.

⁵ A fool ^[a]rejects his father’s discipline,
But he who regards reproof is sensible.

¹⁰ Grievous punishment is for him who forsakes the way;
He who hates reproof will die.

¹² A ^(A)scoffer does not love one who reproves him,
He will not go to the wise.

³² He who ^(A)neglects discipline ^(B)despises himself,
But he who ^(C)listens to reproof acquires ^[a]understanding.
