10. Do not touch the boundaries of little ones, and do not enter into the field of the fatherless.
11. For their close relative is strong, and he will judge their case against you.
12. Let your heart enter into doctrine, and let your ears enter into words of knowledge.
13. Do not be willing to take away discipline from a child. For if you strike him with the rod, he will not die.
14. You will strike him with the rod, and so shall you deliver his soul from Hell.
15. My son, if your soul will become wise, my heart will be glad with you.
16. And my temperament will exult, when your lips will have spoken what is upright.
17. Let not your heart compete with sinners. But be in the fear of the Lord all day long.
18. For you will have hope in the end, and your expectation will not be taken away.
19. Listen, my son, and be wise, and direct your soul along the way.
20. Do not be willing to be in the feasts of great drinkers, nor in the carousings of those who gather to feed on flesh.
21. For those who waste time drinking, and who surrender themselves to symbols, will be consumed. And those who sleep will be clothed in rags.
22. Listen to your father, who conceived you. And do not despise your mother, when she is old.
23. Purchase truth, and do not sell wisdom, or doctrine, or understanding.
24. The father of the just exults in gladness; he who has conceived the wise will rejoice in him.
