A wise son makes a father glad, But a foolish son is a grief to his mother. | A wise child makes a glad father, but a foolish child is a mother's grief. |
Excellent speech is not fitting for a fool, Much less are lying lips to a prince. | Fine speech is not becoming to a fool; still less is false speech to a ruler. |
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. | Those who are wise understand these things; those who are discerning know them. For the ways of the Lord are right, and the upright walk in them, but transgressors stumble in them. |
