Proverbs 23:11

Protection and safetyParents and childrenGod's power and sovereignty

9 Do not speak to a fool, for he will despise the wisdom of your words.

10 Do not move an ancient boundary stone or encroach on the fields of the fatherless,

for their Redeemer is strong; He will take up their case against you.

12 Apply your heart to instruction and your ears to words of knowledge.

13 Do not withhold discipline from a child; although you strike him with a rod, he will not die.
