Proverbs 23:9 Speak not in the ears
of a fool: for he will despise
the wisdom of thy words.
Some people are
determined to be wrong.
“I did it my way.”

3. 10 Remove not the old landmark; and enter not into
the fields of the fatherless: 11 For their redeemer is
mighty; He shall plead their cause with thee.
3
Some people do move property lines in the
attempt to steal some land;
Especially if they are dealing with the weak
and helpless -- like orphans.
God will be their Protector.

4. 4
12 Apply thine heart unto
instruction, and thine ears to
the words of knowledge.
Most people don’t really
want to learn.
They are content in their ignorance.
But God says we should listen and learn.

6. Leviticus 26 14 But if ye will not hearken unto Me,
and will not do all these Commandments; 15 And if
ye shall despise My Statutes, or if your soul abhor
My Judgments, so that ye will not do all My
Commandments, but that ye break My Covenant:
16 I also will do this unto you; I will even appoint
over you terror, consumption, and the burning ague,
that shall consume the eyes, and cause sorrow of
heart: and ye shall sow your seed in vain, for your
enemies shall eat it. 17 And I will set my face against
you, and ye shall be slain before your enemies: they
that hate you shall reign over you; and ye shall flee
when none pursueth you.

8. 8
13 Withhold not correction
from the child: for if thou
beatest him with the rod, he
shall not die. 14 Thou shalt
beat him with the rod, and
shalt deliver his soul from
hell.
Rod = shaybet =
to branch off.

11. Children learn best from good examples.
1 Peter 5:1-3 (NIV) To the elders among you, I
appeal as a fellow elder, a witness of Christ's
sufferings and one who also will share in the glory
to be revealed: Be shepherds of God's flock that is
under your care, serving as overseers -- not
because you must, but because you are willing, as
God wants you to be; not greedy for money, but
eager to serve; not lording it over those entrusted
to you, but being examples to the flock.
