Proverbs 23:10-19 King James 2000 (KJ2000)

10. Remove not the old landmark; and enter not into the fields of the fatherless:

11. For their redeemer is mighty; he shall plead their cause with you.

12. Apply your heart unto instruction, and your ears to the words of knowledge.

13. Withhold not correction from the child: for if you beat him with a rod, he shall not die.

14. You shall beat him with the rod, and shall deliver his soul from sheol.

15. My son, if your heart is wise, my heart shall rejoice, even mine.

16. Yea, my inmost being shall rejoice, when your lips speak right things.

17. Let not your heart envy sinners: but be in the fear of the LORD all the day long.

18. For surely there is a future hope; and your expectation shall not be cut off.

19. Hear you, my son, and be wise, and guide your heart in the way.
