Proverbios 23:12-16

12 Aplica tu corazón á la enseñanza, Y tus oídos á las palabras de sabiduría.

13 No rehuses la corrección del muchacho: Porque si lo hirieres con vara, no morirá.

14 Tú lo herirás con vara, Y librarás su alma del infierno

15 Hijo mío, si tu corazón fuere sabio, También á mí se me alegrará el corazón;

16 Mis entrañas también se alegrarán, Cuando tus labios hablaren cosas rectas.
