Let him not have rule in his youth; And bear not with his mischiefs.
Beat his shoulder while it is yet tender (?); Bruise (?) his loins while he is yet a youth. Bow down his head in his youth; And smite through his loins when he is a little one. Wherefore should he harden himself (M), and rebel against thee; That thou shouldest have (?) faintness of spirit because of him?
Chastise (or Train) thy son, and make his yoke heavy; Lest in his folly he lift himself up (M) against thee.
Better is one that is poor, and healthy in his body; Than a rich man that is plagued in his flesh.
