11 aFor their Redeemer
is mighty;
He will plead their cause against you.
12 Apply your heart to instruction,
And your ears to words of knowledge.
13 aDo not withhold correction from a child,
For
if you beat him with a rod, he will not die.
14 You shall beat him with a rod,
And deliver his soul from
1 hell.
15 My son, if your heart is wise,
My heart will rejoice—indeed, I myself;
16 Yes, my
1 inmost being will rejoice
When your lips speak right things.
