A wise son makes a glad father; but a foolish son brings grief to his mother. | A wise child makes a glad father, but a foolish child is a mother's grief. |
Excellent speech isn’t fitting for a fool, much less do lying lips fit a prince. | Fine speech is not becoming to a fool; still less is false speech to a ruler. |
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. | 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. |
