In context
11Give him not liberty in youth.
12Beat his sides while he is still young, Lest becoming stubborn, he disobey thee.

14Better is the poor, being sound and strong of constitution, Than a rich man that is afflicted in his body.
15Health and good estate of body are above all gold, And a strong body above infinite wealth.
