Proverbs 23:10-18

Saying 11

Don’t move old boundary stones.

Don’t try to take over the fields of children whose fathers have died.

That’s because the God who guards them is strong.

He will stand up for them in court against you.

Saying 12

Apply your heart to what you are taught.

Listen carefully to words of knowledge.

Saying 13

Don’t hold back correction from a child.

If you correct them, they won’t die.

So correct them.

Then you will save them from death.

Saying 14

My son, if your heart is wise,

my heart will be very glad.

Deep down inside, I will be happy

when you say what is right.

Saying 15

Do not long for what sinners have.

But always show great respect for the Lord.

There really is hope for you in days to come.

So your hope will not be cut off.
