The Proverbs Of Solomon 23:10-23 Jubilee Bible (JUB)

10. Do not remove the old landmark, and do not enter into the inheritance of the fatherless:

11. For their redeemer is mighty; he shall judge their cause against thee.

12. Apply thine heart unto chastening and thine ears to the words of wisdom.

13. Do not withhold correction from the child; for if thou shall beat him with the rod, he shall not die.

14. Thou shalt beat him with the rod and shalt deliver his soul from Sheol.

15. My son, if thy heart is wise, my heart shall also rejoice;

16. my kidneys shall also rejoice when thy lips speak right things.

17. Let not thy heart envy sinners, but persevere in the fear of the Lord all day long.

18. For surely there is an end, and thy hope shall not be cut off.

19. Hear thou, my son, and be wise, and straighten thy heart in the way.

20. Do not be among those who are drunk with wine; nor among gluttonous eaters of food;

21. for the drunkard and the glutton shall come to poverty, and drowsiness shall cause them to wear rags.

22. Hearken unto thy father that begat thee, and despise not thy mother when she is old.

23. Buy the truth and sell it not, also wisdom and instruction and understanding.
