A wise son makes a father glad, But a foolish son is a grief to his mother. | A wise son brings joy to his father, but a foolish son gives grief to his mother. |
Excellent speech is not fitting for a fool, Much less are lying lips to a prince. | Fine words are not becoming to a fool, and much less are false words to a noble. |
Whoever is wise, let him understand these things; Whoever is discerning, let him know them. For the ways of the Lord are right, And the righteous will walk in them, But wrongdoers will stumble in them. | Let those who are wise understand these words, and let the prudent acknowledge them. For straight are the ways of the Lord; the upright walk in them, but sinners stumble. |
