- A wise son brings joy to his father,
but a foolish son gives grief to his mother. - Fine words are not becoming to a fool,
and much less are false words to a noble. - 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.
O Lord, all my longing is known to you,
and my sighs are not hidden from you.
