Proverbs 22:15-17

Tree of Life Version

¹⁵ Foolishness is bound up in the heart of a child,
but a rod of discipline will drive it far from him.

¹⁶ The one who oppresses the poor to increase his own gain,
and the one who gives to the rich—both end in poverty.

¹⁷ Incline your ear and listen to the words of the wise,
and apply your heart to my knowledge.
