| A fool despises a parent's instruction, but the one who heeds admonition is prudent. | A fool despiseth his father's instruction: but he that regardeth reproof is prudent. |
| Fine speech is not becoming to a fool; still less is false speech to a ruler. | Excellent speech becometh not a fool: much less do lying lips a prince. |
| 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. | Who is wise, and he shall understand these things? prudent, and he shall know them? for the ways of the Lord are right, and the just shall walk in them: but the transgressors shall fall therein. |
Bible verse of the day

Do not let them escape from your sight;
keep them within your heart.
