A fool despises a parent's instruction, but the one who heeds admonition is prudent. | A fool despises his father’s instruction, But he who receives correction is prudent. |
Fine speech is not becoming to a fool; still less is false speech to a ruler. | Excellent speech is not becoming to a fool, Much less lying lips to 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? Let him understand these things. Who is prudent? Let him know them. For the ways of the Lord are right; The righteous walk in them, But transgressors stumble in them. |
