⁸ My son, hear the instruction of thy father, and forsake not the law of thy mother;

⁹ for they shall be an ornament of grace unto thy head, and chains about thy neck.

²⁰ My son, keep thy father’s commandment, and forsake not the law of thy mother.

²¹ Bind them continually upon thine heart, and tie them about thy neck.

²² When thou goest, it shall lead thee; when thou sleepest, it shall keep thee; when thou awakest, it shall talk with thee.

²³ For the commandment is a lamp, and the law is light; and reproofs of instruction are the way of life

10 A wise son maketh a glad father, but a foolish son is the heaviness of his mother.

²⁹ He that troubleth his own house shall inherit the wind, and the fool shall be servant to the wise of heart.

13 A wise son heareth his father’s instruction, but a scorner heareth not rebuke.

⁵ A fool despiseth his father’s instruction, but he that heedeth reproof is prudent.

²⁰ A wise son maketh a glad father, but a foolish man despiseth his mother.

⁶ Children’s children are the crown of old men, and the glory of children are their fathers.

¹⁷ A friend is loving at all times, and a brother is born for adversity.

²¹ He that begetteth a fool doeth so to his sorrow, and the father of a fool hath no joy.
