| 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 brings grief to his mother. |
| Eloquent lips are unsuited to a godless fool— how much worse lying lips to a ruler! | Excellent speech isn’t fitting for a fool, much less do lying lips fit 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. | Who is wise, that he may understand these things? Who is prudent, that he may know them? For the ways of Yahweh are right, and the righteous walk in them, but the rebellious stumble in them. |
