| A fool despises his father’s correction, but he who heeds reproof shows prudence. | A fool spurns his father’s correction, but whoever heeds admonition is prudent. |
| Excellent speech isn’t fitting for a fool, much less do lying lips fit a prince. | Fine words are not becoming to a fool, and much less are false words to a noble. |
| 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. | Let those who are wise understand these words, and let the prudent acknowledge them. For straight are the ways of the Lord; the upright walk in them, but sinners stumble. |
