¹ My son, forget not thou my Law, but let thine heart ^(A)keep my commandments.

² For they shall increase the length of thy ^[a]days and the years of life, and thy prosperity.

⁷ He that reproveth a scorner, purchaseth to himself shame: and he that rebuketh the wicked, getteth himself a ^[a]blot.

⁸ Rebuke not a ^[b]scorner, lest he hate thee: but rebuke a wise man, and he will love thee.

⁹ Give admonition to the wise, and he will be the wiser: teach a righteous man, and he will increase in learning.

⁸ The wise in heart will receive commandments: but the foolish in ^[a]talk shall be beaten.

¹⁵ The way of a fool is ^[a]right in his own eyes: but he that heareth in counsel, is wise.

13 ¹ A wise son will obey the instruction of his father: but a scorner will hear no rebuke.

¹³ He that despiseth ^[a]the word, he shall be destroyed, but he that feareth the commandment, he shall be rewarded.

³¹ The ear that hearkeneth to the ^[a]correction of life, shall lodge among the wise.

¹⁰ A reproof entereth more into him that hath understanding, than an hundred stripes into a fool.

¹⁶ He that keepeth the commandment, keepeth his own soul: but he that despiseth his ways, shall die.

²⁰ Hear counsel and receive instruction, that thou mayest be wise in thy latter end.
