17 Whoever heeds discipline shows the way to life,

but whoever ignores correction leads others astray.

17 He is in the way of life that keepeth instruction:

But he that refuseth reproof erreth.

17 People who accept discipline are on the pathway to life,

but those who ignore correction will go astray.

17 He who keeps instruction is in the way of life,

But he who refuses correction goes astray.

17 Whoever accepts correction is on the way to life,

but whoever ignores correction will lead others away from life.

17 He is in the way of life that heedeth correction;

But he that forsaketh reproof erreth.

17 Keeping instruction is the path to life; but he that forsaketh reproof goeth astray.

17 Whoever practices discipline is on the way to life, 

but whoever ignores a warning strays. 

17 The one who follows instruction is on the path to life,

but the one who rejects correction goes astray.

17 Whoever heeds instruction is on the path to life,

but one who rejects a rebuke goes astray.

17 On the path to life is he who guards instruction,

but he who rejects rebuke goes astray.

17 Anyone who pays attention to his training

is on his way to life.

But anyone who refuses to be corrected

leads others down the wrong path.

17 He is on the path of life who heeds instruction,

But he who ignores reproof goes astray.
