| A wise child brings joy to a father; a foolish child brings grief to a mother. | A wise son makes a father glad, But a foolish son is a grief to his mother. |
| Eloquent words are not fitting for a fool; even less are lies fitting for a ruler. | Excellent speech is not fitting for a fool, Much less are lying lips to a prince. |
| Let those who are wise understand these things. Let those with discernment listen carefully. The paths of the Lord are true and right, and righteous people live by walking in them. But in those paths sinners stumble and fall. | 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 righteous will walk in them, But wrongdoers will stumble in them. |
