11) Proverbs 23:12
Apply yourself, heart mind and soul, to instruction. Discipline yourself so that you may learn the ways of those before you and be a positive contribution to your world.
12) Proverbs 23:13-14
Afraid to discipline your children? They will hurt you in the end. Discipline, and yes even physical discipline when they are young, can change the course of their life. You will be saving them from the life of the foolish and an early death.
13) Proverbs 23:15-16
My dear child wisdom is such a blessing. It comes from God. It will do this fathers heart so much good to see you act and live in the truth that God has bestowed upon you. I will dance to the rhythm of the words that pour forth from your soul. I will play in the rivers of freedom and truth your lips will proclaim.
14) Proverbs 23: 17-18
Do not give a second though to the ways of the careless and those who make their living off of sin. Instead, soak yourself in the words of the Lord and learn to fear and respect him. In God and his words is where your future is. When you take the time to follow what God teaches you in your innermost being you will not be left with nothing. In fact, you will be richly blessed.
15) Proverbs 23:19-21
Listen dearest child. Take the time to invest in wisdom. It will pay dividends time and time again. It pays out better than any bank or business investment you can ever conceive of. Do not get derailed by eating and drinking yourself into the grave. Food and wine are provided for enjoyment and relaxation, but the profit the soul little in the long run. Banquets that last days are for kings, you must work to invest in wisdom and those things that profit your soul.
