A wise son brings joy to his father, but a foolish son brings grief to his mother. | A wise child makes a glad father, but a foolish child is a mother's grief. |
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 ruler. |
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. | 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. |
Bible verse of the day
Better a patient person than a warrior,one with self-control than one who takes a city.
