9 Don't try to talk sense to a fool; he can't appreciate it.
10 Never move an old boundary mark or take over land owned by orphans.
11 The Lord is their powerful defender, and he will argue their case against you.
12 Pay attention to your teacher and learn all you can.
13 Don't hesitate to discipline children. A good spanking won't kill them.
14 As a matter of fact, it may save their lives.
15 Son, if you become wise, I will be very happy.
