| A wise son brings joy to his father, but a foolish son brings grief to his mother. | A wise son makes a glad father, but a foolish son is a sorrow to his mother. |
| Eloquent lips are unsuited to a godless fool— how much worse lying lips to a ruler! | Fine speech is not becoming to a fool; still less is false speech to a prince. |
| Who is wise? Let them realize these things. Who is discerning? Let them understand. The ways of the Lord are right; the righteous walk in them, but the rebellious stumble in them. | 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 upright walk in them, but transgressors stumble in them. |
Bible verse of the day
My times are in your hands;deliver me from the hands of my enemies,
from those who pursue me.
