⁸ My son, listen to your father’s instruction,
    and don’t forsake your mother’s teaching:
⁹ for they will be a garland to grace your head,
    and chains around your neck.

²² A good man leaves an inheritance to his children’s children,
    but the wealth of the sinner is stored for the righteous.

²⁰ A wise son makes a father glad,
    but a foolish man despises his mother.

⁶ Children’s children are the crown of old men;
    the glory of children are their parents.

²¹ He who becomes the father of a fool grieves.
    The father of a fool has no joy.

²⁵ A foolish son brings grief to his father,
    and bitterness to her who bore him.

¹³ A foolish son is the calamity of his father.
    A wife’s quarrels are a continual dripping.
