¹¹ ¶ My son, refuse not the chastening of the Lord, neither be grieved with his correction.

^12 (A)For the Lord correcteth him, whom he loveth, even as the father doth the child, in whom he delighteth.

¹⁷ He that regardeth instruction is in the way of life: but he that refuseth correction, goeth out of the way.

12 ¹ He that loveth instruction, loveth knowledge: but he that hateth correction, is a fool.

¹⁸ Poverty and shame is to him that refuseth instruction: but he that regardeth correction, shall be honored.

^24 (A)He that spareth his rod, hateth his son: but he that loveth him chasteneth him betime.

⁵ A fool despiseth his father’s instruction, but he that regardeth correction, is prudent.

¹⁰ Instruction is evil to him that ^[a]forsaketh the way, and he that hateth correction, shall die.

¹² A scorner loveth not him that rebuketh him, neither will he go unto the wise.

³² He that refuseth instruction, despiseth his own soul: but he that obeyeth correction, getteth understanding.

¹⁸ Chasten thy son while there is hope, and let not thy soul spare for his murmuring.
