18 My child, from your youth choose discipline;and when you have gray hair you will find wisdom.
19 As though plowing and sowing, draw close to her;then wait for her bountiful crops.For in cultivating her you will work but little,and soon you will eat her fruit.
20 She is rough ground to the fool!The stupid cannot abide her.
21 She will be like a burdensome stone to them,and they will not delay in casting her aside.
22 For discipline is like her name,she is not accessible to many.
23 Listen, my child, and take my advice;do not refuse my counsel.
24 Put your feet into her fetters,and your neck under her yoke.
