1. A wise son accepts his father’s discipline, But a scoffer shall not listen to rebuke.
2. From the fruit of the mouth a man eats the good, But the desire of the treacherous is for violence.
3. He who watches over his mouth guards his being, But he who opens wide his lips comes to ruin.
4. The being of the lazy one craves, but has not; While the being of the hard workers are enriched.
5. A righteous one hates a lying word, But a wrong man is loathsome and comes to shame.
6. Righteousness watches over him who is perfect in the way, But wrongness overthrows the sinner.
