Proverbs 22:15-17
New Life Version
15 A foolish way is held in the heart of a child, but the punishing stick will send it far from him.
16 He who makes it hard for the poor by getting more for himself, or who gives to the rich, will become poor himself.
17 Turn your ear and hear the words of the wise, and open your mind to what they teach.

15 Folly is bound up in the heart of a child,
but the rod of discipline will drive it far away.(A)

and one who gives gifts to the rich—both come to poverty.
