| A fool spurns his father’s correction, but whoever heeds admonition is prudent. | A fool despises his father’s instruction, But he who receives correction is prudent. |
| Fine words are not becoming to a fool, and much less are false words to a noble. | Excellent speech is not becoming to a fool, Much less lying lips to a prince. |
| 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. | Who is wise? Let him understand these things. Who is prudent? Let him know them. For the ways of the Lord are right; The righteous walk in them, But transgressors stumble in them. |
