A wise son
A wise son listens to his father's instruction, but a mocker refuses rebuke. A man eats good from the fruit of his mouth, but the soul of transgressors feeds on violence. Whoever guards his mouth guards his life, but whoever opens his lips wide will come to destruction. The lazy man's soul desires and has nothing, but the soul of the diligent will prosper. A righteous man hates lying, but a wicked man is loathsome and comes to shame. Righteousness keeps the one whose way is blameless, but wickedness overthrows the sinner. One man pretends to be rich and has nothing; another makes himself poor and has great riches. A man's riches may ransom his life, but the poor hear no threat. The light of the righteous rejoices, but the lamp of the wicked will be put out. Pride only breeds conflict, but wisdom is with those who take advice. Wealth gained by dodgy schemes dwindles away, but whoever gathers little by little makes it grow. Hope deferred makes the heart sick, but when desire comes it is a tree of life. Whoever despises the word will be destroyed, but whoever fears the commandment will be rewarded.
A wise son listens to his father's teaching, but a mocker doesn't listen to telling-off. A man will eat good by the fruit of his mouth, but the soul of the ones who deal treacherously will eat violence. The one who keeps his mouth keeps his life, but the one who opens his lips wide will have ruin. The soul of the lazy man wants and has nothing, but the soul of the hard worker will be made fat. A righteous man hates lying, but a wicked man is loathsome and comes to shame. Righteousness keeps the one whose way is whole, but wickedness overturns the sinner. There's the one who makes himself rich and has nothing, and the one who makes himself poor and has great riches. The ransom of a man's life is his riches, but the poor doesn't hear a telling-off. The light of the righteous is glad, but the lamp of the wicked will be put out. Only by pride comes fighting, but with the well counselled is wisdom. Wealth got by empty ways will grow less, but the one who gathers by hand will make it grow. Hope put off makes the heart sick, but when what's wanted comes, it's a tree of life. Whoever sneers at the word will be wrecked, but the one who fears the order will be rewarded.
A wise son heareth his father’s instruction: but a scorner heareth not rebuke. A man shall eat good by the fruit of his mouth: but the soul of the transgressors shall eat violence. He that keepeth his mouth keepeth his life: but he that openeth wide his lips shall have destruction. The soul of the sluggard desireth, and hath nothing: but the soul of the diligent shall be made fat. A righteous man hateth lying: but a wicked man is loathsome, and cometh to shame. Righteousness keepeth him that is upright in the way: but wickedness overthroweth the sinner. There is that maketh himself rich, yet hath nothing: there is that maketh himself poor, yet hath great riches. The ransom of a man’s life are his riches: but the poor heareth not rebuke. The light of the righteous rejoiceth: but the lamp of the wicked shall be put out. Only by pride cometh contention: but with the well advised is wisdom. Wealth gotten by vanity shall be diminished: but he that gathereth by labour shall increase. Hope deferred maketh the heart sick: but when the desire cometh, it is a tree of life. Whoso despiseth the word shall be destroyed: but he that feareth the commandment shall be rewarded.

Walk with the wise
The instruction of the wise is a fountain of life, turning people away from the snares of death. Good understanding brings favour, but the way of transgressors is hard. Every sensible man acts with knowledge, but a fool lays open his folly. A wicked messenger falls into mischief, but a faithful ambassador brings health. Poverty and shame come to whoever rejects instruction, but whoever accepts correction will be honoured. A desire fulfilled is sweet to the soul, but fools find it disgusting to depart from evil. Walk with wise people and you'll become wise; keep company with fools and you'll suffer for it. Evil pursues sinners, but good will be repaid to the righteous. A good man leaves an inheritance to his children's children, and the wealth of the sinner is laid up for the righteous. There is plenty of food in the fallow ground of the poor, yet some are destroyed for lack of judgment. Whoever spares the rod hates his son, but whoever loves him disciplines him promptly. The righteous eats until his soul is satisfied, but the belly of the wicked will be in want.
The teaching of the wise is a well of life, to turn away from the snares of death. Good understanding gives favour, but the way of the ones who deal treacherously is hard. Every careful man deals with knowledge, but a fool lays out his folly. A wicked messenger falls into trouble, but a faithful messenger is healing. Poverty and shame will come to the one who turns down teaching, but the one who takes telling-off will be honoured. Something wanted that comes is sweet to the soul, but it's disgusting to fools to leave off from evil. The one who walks with wise men will be wise, but a mate of fools will be wrecked. Trouble chases sinners, but good will be paid to the righteous. A good man leaves an inheritance to his children's children, and the wealth of the sinner is stored up for the righteous. There's plenty of food in the ploughed field of the poor, but there's the one who's wrecked for want of judgment. The one who holds back his rod hates his son, but the one who loves him teaches him early. The righteous eats to the satisfying of his soul, but the belly of the wicked will go short.
The law of the wise is a fountain of life, to depart from the snares of death. Good understanding giveth favour: but the way of transgressors is hard. Every prudent man dealeth with knowledge: but a fool layeth open his folly. A wicked messenger falleth into mischief: but a faithful ambassador is health. Poverty and shame shall be to him that refuseth instruction: but he that regardeth reproof shall be honoured. The desire accomplished is sweet to the soul: but it is abomination to fools to depart from evil. He that walketh with wise men shall be wise: but a companion of fools shall be destroyed. Evil pursueth sinners: but to the righteous good shall be repayed. A good man leaveth an inheritance to his children’s children: and the wealth of the sinner is laid up for the just. Much food is in the tillage of the poor: but there is that is destroyed for want of judgment. He that spareth his rod hateth his son: but he that loveth him chasteneth him betimes. The righteous eateth to the satisfying of his soul: but the belly of the wicked shall want.
