Verse 12 is found in chapter 23 of Proverbs. The discipline of children appears within a formative perspective: correction seeks to rescue the young from destructive paths. The section also warns against envying sinners, drinking excessively, and giving oneself to gluttony. The image of a father who wants his son’s heart to be wise shows that moral formation aims at inner transformation, not merely external obedience.

Gib dein Herz zur Zucht und deine Ohren zu vernünftiger Rede.
Aplica tu corazón a la enseñanza, Y tus oídos a las palabras de sabiduría.

Porgi il tuo cuore all’ammaestramento, E le tue orecchie a’ detti della scienza.
Aplica o teu coração à instrução e os teus ouvidos às palavras do conhecimento.
你要留心領受訓誨, 側耳聽從知識的言語。
