| A wise son brings joy to his father, but a foolish son gives grief to his mother. | A wise child makes a glad father, but a foolish child is a mother's grief. |
| Fine words are not becoming to a fool, and much less are false words to a noble. | Fine speech is not becoming to a fool; still less is false speech to a ruler. |
| 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. | 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. |
