Proverbs 23:11-15 Lexham English Bible (LEB)

11. For their redeemer is strong, he himself will plead their cause against you.

12. Apply your heart to instruction, and your ear to sayings of knowledge.

13. Do not withhold discipline from a child, if you will beat him with the rod, he will not die.

14. As for you, with the rod you shall beat him, and his life you will save from Sheol.

15. My child, if your heart is wise, my heart will be glad—even me!
