Proverbs 22:15-17
New American Standard Bible
Chapter 22
15
Foolishness is bound up in the heart of a child;
The rod of discipline will remove it far from him.
16
One who oppresses the poor to make more for himself,
Or
gives to the rich,
will
only
come
to poverty.
17
Extend your ear and hear the words of the wise,
And apply your mind to my knowledge;
King James Version
Chapter 22
15
Foolishness is bound in the heart of a child; but the rod of correction shall drive it far from him.
16
He that oppresseth the poor to increase his riches, and he that giveth to the rich, shall surely come to want.
17
Bow down thine ear, and hear the words of the wise, and apply thine heart unto my knowledge.
Christian Standard Bible
Chapter 22
15
Foolishness is bound to the heart of a youth;
a rod of discipline will separate it from him.
16
Oppressing the poor to enrich oneself,
and giving to the rich—both lead only to poverty.
17
Listen closely, pay attention to the words of the wise,
and apply your mind to my knowledge.
New Living Translation
Chapter 22
15
A youngster’s heart is filled with foolishness,
but physical discipline will drive it far away.
16
A person who gets ahead by oppressing the poor
or by showering gifts on the rich will end in poverty.
17
Listen to the words of the wise;
apply your heart to my instruction.
English Standard Version
Chapter 22
15
Folly is bound up in the heart of a child,
but the rod of discipline drives it far from him.
16
Whoever oppresses the poor to increase his own wealth,
or gives to the rich, will only come to poverty.
17
Incline your ear, and hear the words of the wise,
and apply your heart to my knowledge,
New International Version
Chapter 22
15
Folly is bound up in the heart of a child,
but the rod of discipline will drive it far away.
16
One who oppresses the poor to increase his wealth
and one who gives gifts to the rich—both come to poverty.
17
Pay attention and turn your ear to the sayings of the wise;
apply your heart to what I teach,
New King James Version
Chapter 22
15
Foolishness
is
bound up in the heart of a child;
The rod of correction will drive it far from him.
16
He who oppresses the poor to increase his
riches,
And
he who gives to the rich,
will
surely
come
to poverty.
17
Incline your ear and hear the words of the wise,
And apply your heart to my knowledge;
