Proverbs 22:15-17

Revised Standard Version

¹⁵ Folly is bound up in the heart of a child,
    but the rod of discipline drives it far from him.
¹⁶ He who oppresses the poor to increase his own wealth,
    or gives to the rich, will only come to want.

¹⁷ Incline your ear, and hear the words of the wise,
    and apply your mind to my knowledge;
