⁸ My child, may you keep^[a] your father’s instruction,
    and do not reject your mother’s teachings,
⁹ for they are a garland of favor for your head,
    and pendants for your neck.

²⁰ My child, keep the commandment of your father,
    and do not disregard the instruction of your mother.
²¹ Bind them on your heart continually;
    tie them upon your neck.
²² When you walk,^[a] she^[b] will lead you,
    When you lie down,^[c] she will watch over you,
    and when you awake, she will converse with you.
²³ For like a lamp is a commandment, and instruction is light,
    and the way of life^[d] is the reproof of discipline,

10 The proverbs of Solomon:
A wise child makes a father glad,
    but a foolish child grieves his mother.

²⁹ He who brings trouble to his household, he will inherit wind,^[a]
    and a fool will serve the wise of heart.
