Proverbs 23:13-22
New American Standard Bible
Chapter 23
13
Do not withhold discipline from a child;
Though you strike him with the rod, he will not die.
14
You shall strike him with the rod
And rescue his soul from Sheol.
15
My son, if your heart is wise,
My own heart also will be glad,
16
And my innermost being will rejoice
When your lips speak what is right.
17
Do not let your heart envy sinners,
But
live
in the fear of the
Lord
always.
18
Certainly there is a future,
And your hope will not be cut off.
19
Listen, my son, and be wise,
And direct your heart in the way.
20
Do not be with heavy drinkers of wine,
Or
with gluttonous eaters of meat;
21
For the heavy drinker and the glutton will come to poverty,
And drowsiness will clothe
one
with rags.
22
Listen to your father, who fathered you,
And do not despise your mother when she is old.
King James Version
Chapter 23
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.
15
My son, if thine heart be wise, my heart shall rejoice, even mine.
16
Yea, my reins shall rejoice, when thy lips speak right things.
17
Let not thine heart envy sinners: but be thou in the fear of the
Lord
all the day long.
18
For surely there is an end; and thine expectation shall not be cut off.
19
Hear thou, my son, and be wise, and guide thine heart in the way.
20
Be not among winebibbers; among riotous eaters of flesh:
21
For the drunkard and the glutton shall come to poverty: and drowsiness shall clothe a man with rags.
22
Hearken unto thy father that begat thee, and despise not thy mother when she is old.
Christian Standard Bible
Chapter 23
13
Don’t withhold discipline from a youth;
if you punish him with a rod, he will not die.
14
Punish him with a rod,
and you will rescue his life from Sheol.
15
My son, if your heart is wise,
my heart will indeed rejoice.
16
My innermost being will celebrate
when your lips say what is right.
17
Don’t let your heart envy sinners;
instead, always fear the
Lord
.
18
For then you will have a future,
and your hope will not be dashed.
19
Listen, my son, and be wise;
keep your mind on the right course.
20
Don’t associate with those who drink too much wine
or with those who gorge themselves on meat.
21
For the drunkard and the glutton will become poor,
and grogginess will clothe them in rags.
22
Listen to your father who gave you life,
and don’t despise your mother when she is old.
New Living Translation
Chapter 23
13
Don’t fail to discipline your children.
The rod of punishment won’t kill them.
14
Physical discipline
may well save them from death.
15
My child, if your heart is wise,
my own heart will rejoice!
16
Everything in me will celebrate
when you speak what is right.
17
Don’t envy sinners,
but always continue to fear the
Lord
.
18
You will be rewarded for this;
your hope will not be disappointed.
19
My child, listen and be wise:
Keep your heart on the right course.
20
Do not carouse with drunkards
or feast with gluttons,
21
for they are on their way to poverty,
and too much sleep clothes them in rags.
22
Listen to your father, who gave you life,
and don’t despise your mother when she is old.
English Standard Version
Chapter 23
13
Do not withhold discipline from a child;
if you strike him with a rod, he will not die.
14
If you strike him with the rod,
you will save his soul from Sheol.
15
My son, if your heart is wise,
my heart too will be glad.
16
My inmost being will exult
when your lips speak what is right.
17
Let not your heart envy sinners,
but continue in the fear of the
Lord
all the day.
18
Surely there is a future,
and your hope will not be cut off.
19
Hear, my son, and be wise,
and direct your heart in the way.
20
Be not among drunkards
or among gluttonous eaters of meat,
21
for the drunkard and the glutton will come to poverty,
and slumber will clothe them with rags.
22
Listen to your father who gave you life,
and do not despise your mother when she is old.
New International Version
Chapter 23
13
Do not withhold discipline from a child;
if you punish them with the rod, they will not die.
14
Punish them with the rod
and save them from death.
15
My son, if your heart is wise,
then my heart will be glad indeed;
16
my inmost being will rejoice
when your lips speak what is right.
17
Do not let your heart envy sinners,
but always be zealous for the fear of the
Lord
.
18
There is surely a future hope for you,
and your hope will not be cut off.
19
Listen, my son, and be wise,
and set your heart on the right path:
20
Do not join those who drink too much wine
or gorge themselves on meat,
21
for drunkards and gluttons become poor,
and drowsiness clothes them in rags.
22
Listen to your father, who gave you life,
and do not despise your mother when she is old.
New King James Version
Chapter 23
13
Do not withhold correction from a child,
For
if
you beat him with a rod, he will not die.
14
You shall beat him with a rod,
And deliver his soul from hell.
15
My son, if your heart is wise,
My heart will rejoice—indeed, I myself;
16
Yes, my inmost being will rejoice
When your lips speak right things.
17
Do not let your heart envy sinners,
But
be zealous
for the fear of the
Lord
all the day;
18
For surely there is a hereafter,
And your hope will not be cut off.
19
Hear, my son, and be wise;
And guide your heart in the way.
20
Do not mix with winebibbers,
Or
with gluttonous eaters of meat;
21
For the drunkard and the glutton will come to poverty,
And drowsiness will clothe
a man
with rags.
22
Listen to your father who begot you,
And do not despise your mother when she is old.
