Proverbs 22:17 CPDV

¹⁵  Foolishness has been bound to the heart of a child, and a rod of discipline shall cause it to flee.

¹⁶  Whoever slanders the poor, so as to augment his own riches, will give it away to one who is richer, and will be in need.

¹⁷  Incline your ear, and listen to the words of the wise. Then apply your heart to my doctrine.

¹⁸  It shall be beautiful to you, if you preserve it in your inner self, and it shall overflow from your lips,

¹⁹  so that your confidence may be in the Lord. Therefore, I also have revealed it to you this day.
