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.
