- A wise son makes a father glad,
But a foolish son is a grief to his mother. - Excellent speech is not fitting for a fool,
Much less are lying lips to a prince. - 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.
Behold, as for the impudent one,
His soul is not right within him;
But the righteous one will live by his faith.
