8 The morsel which you have eaten you shall vomit up, And lose your good words.
9 Don`t speak in the ears of a fool, For he will despise the wisdom of your words.
10 Don`t move the ancient boundary stone. Don`t encroach on the fields of the fatherless:
11 For their Defender is strong. He will plead their case against you.
12 Apply your heart to instruction, And your ears to the words of knowledge.
13 Don`t withhold correction from a child. If you punish him with the rod, he will not die.
14 Punish him with the rod, And save his soul from Sheol.
