^8 (A)Hear, my son, your father’s instruction
And ^(B)do not forsake your mother’s teaching;
⁹ Indeed, they are a ^(C)graceful wreath to your head
And ^[a](D)ornaments about your neck.

²⁴ He who ^(A)withholds his ^[a]rod hates his son,
But he who loves him ^[b](B)disciplines him diligently.

^6 (A)Train up a child ^[a]in the way he should go,
Even when he is old he will not depart from it.
