Proverbs 22:15-17

American Standard Version

¹⁵Foolishness is bound up in the heart of a child;
But the rod of correction shall drive it far from him.
¹⁶He that oppresseth the poor to increase his gain,
And he that giveth to the rich, shall come only to want.

¹⁷Incline thine ear, and hear the words of the wise,
And apply thy heart unto my knowledge.
