20
She seems very harsh to the undisciplined; fools cannot remain with her.
21
She will be like a heavy stone to test them, and they will not delay in casting her aside.

23
Listen, my child, and accept my judgment; do not reject my counsel.
24
Put your feet into her fetters, and your neck into her collar.
