13 Withhold not correction from the child: for [if] thou beatest him with the rod, he shall not die.
13 Don’t withhold correction from a child. If you punish him with the rod, he will not die.

15 My son, if thine heart be wise, my heart shall rejoice, even mine.

16 Yea, my reins shall rejoice, when thy lips speak right things.

19 Hear thou, my son, and be wise, and guide thine heart in the way.
19 Listen, my son, and be wise, and keep your heart on the right path!
20 Be not among winebibbers; among riotous eaters of flesh:

24 The father of the righteous has great joy. Whoever fathers a wise child delights in him.
25 Thy father and thy mother shall be glad, and she that bare thee shall rejoice.
25 Let your father and your mother be glad! Let her who bore you rejoice!
26 My son, give me thine heart, and let thine eyes observe my ways.
26 My son, give me your heart; and let your eyes keep in my ways.
27 For a whore [is] a deep ditch; and a strange woman [is] a narrow pit.
27 For a prostitute is a deep pit; and a wayward wife is a narrow well.
28 She also lieth in wait as [for] a prey, and increaseth the transgressors among men.
28 Yes, she lies in wait like a robber, and increases the unfaithful among men.
29 Who hath woe? who hath sorrow? who hath contentions? who hath babbling? who hath wounds without cause? who hath redness of eyes?
29 Who has woe? Who has sorrow? Who has strife? Who has complaints? Who has needless bruises? Who has bloodshot eyes?
30 They that tarry long at the wine; they that go to seek mixed wine.
30 Those who stay long at the wine; those who go to seek out mixed wine.

33 Thine eyes shall behold strange women, and thine heart shall utter perverse things.
33 Your eyes will see strange things, and your mind will imagine confusing things.
34 Yea, thou shalt be as he that lieth down in the midst of the sea, or as he that lieth upon the top of a mast.
34 Yes, you will be as he who lies down in the middle of the sea, or as he who lies on top of the rigging:
35 They have stricken me, [shalt thou say, and] I was not sick; they have beaten me, [and] I felt [it] not: when shall I awake? I will seek it yet again.
35 “They hit me, and I was not hurt! They beat me, and I don’t feel it! When will I wake up? I can do it again. I will look for more.”
