1. A wise son accepts his father's discipline, But a scoffer does not listen to rebuke.
2. From the fruit of a man's mouth he enjoys good, But the desire of the treacherous is violence.
3. The one who guards his mouth preserves his life; The one who opens wide his lips comes to ruin.
4. The soul of the sluggard craves and gets nothing, But the soul of the diligent is made fat.
5. A righteous man hates falsehood, But a wicked man acts disgustingly and shamefully.
6. Righteousness guards the one whose way is blameless, But wickedness subverts the sinner.
