9. Do not speak into the ears of the unwise. They will despise the doctrine of your eloquence.
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.
