10 Não mudes os limites antigos, nem ultrapasses as propriedades dos órfãos;

11 Porque o Defensor deles é poderoso; ele disputará a causa deles contra ti.

12 Aplica teu coração à disciplina, e teus ouvidos às palavras de conhecimento.

13 Não retires a disciplina do jovem; quando lhe bateres com a vara, nem [por isso] morrerá.

14 Tu lhe baterás com a vara, e livrarás a sua alma do Xeol.
