⁸ Listen, my son, to your father’s discipline,
and do not forsake your mother’s teaching,
⁹ because they are a garland of grace for your head.
They are jewelry for your neck.

²⁰ My son, keep your father’s commands,
and do not forsake your mother’s teachings.
²¹ Fasten them permanently to your heart,
and tie them around your neck.
²² When you walk around, they will lead you.
When you lie down, they will stand guard over you.
When you wake up, they will converse with you,
²³ because a command is a lamp, teaching is a light,
and the warnings given by discipline are a road to life.

A wise son brings joy to his father,
but a foolish son brings grief to his mother.

²⁹ Whoever troubles his household will inherit the wind,
and a stubborn fool will be a slave to a person with a wise heart.

⁵ A stubborn fool despises his father’s discipline,
but whoever heeds correction is sensible.

²⁰ A wise son brings joy to his father,
but a foolish person despises his mother.

⁶ Grandchildren are a crown for the elderly,
and parents are a source of pride for their children.

¹⁷ A friend loves at all times,
and a brother is born for a time of trouble.

²¹ The man who fathers a fool has grief,
and the father of an arrogant fool will have no joy.
