Proverbs 22:15-18 New American Bible, Revised Edition (NABRE)

15. Folly is bound to the heart of a youth,but the rod of discipline will drive it out.

16. Oppressing the poor for enrichment,giving to the rich: both are sheer loss.

17. The Words of the Wise:Incline your ear, and hear my words,and let your mind attend to my teaching;

18. For it will be well if you hold them within you,if they all are ready on your lips.
