13 Don’t fail to punish children.If you spank them, they won’t die.
14 If you spank them,you will save them from death.
15 My child, if you are wise,then I will be happy.
16 I will be so pleasedif you speak what is right.
17 Don’t envy sinners,but always respect the Lord.
18 Then you will have hope for the future,and your wishes will come true.
19 Listen, my child, and be wise.Keep your mind on what is right.
