My own heart also will be glad. - The father of the righteous will greatly rejoice,
And he who fathers a wise son will be glad in him. - Know that wisdom is the same for your soul;

And do not go to your brother’s house on the day of your disaster;
Better is a neighbor who is near than a brother far away. - A prudent person sees evil and hides himself;
But the naive proceed, and pay the penalty. - As iron sharpens iron,
So one person sharpens another. - As in water a face reflects the face,
So the heart of a person reflects the person. - One who turns his ear away from listening to the Law,
Even his prayer is an abomination.
