15. Folly is bound up in the heart of a child,but the rod of discipline drives it far from him.
16. Whoever oppresses the poor to increase his own wealth,or gives to the rich, will only come to poverty.
17. Incline your ear, and hear the words of the wise, and apply your heart to my knowledge,
18. for it will be pleasant if you keep them within you,if all of them are ready on your lips.
19. That your trust may be in the Lord,I have made them known to you today, even to you.
