Proverbs 22:15-17
Holman Christian Standard Bible
15 Foolishness is tangled up in the heart of a youth;
the rod of discipline will drive it away from him.(A)
16 Oppressing the poor to enrich oneself,
and giving to the rich—both lead only to poverty.(B)
Words of the Wise
17 Listen closely,[a] pay attention to the words of the wise,(C)
and apply your mind to my knowledge.
