Proverbs 23:11-14

The Message

^10-11 Don’t stealthily move back the boundary lines
    or cheat orphans out of their property,
For they have a powerful Advocate
    who will go to bat for them.

¹² Give yourselves to disciplined instruction;
    open your ears to tested knowledge.

^13-14 Don’t be afraid to correct your young ones;
    a spanking won’t kill them.
A good spanking, in fact, might save them
    from something worse than death.
