- Listen, my son, and be wise, and keep your heart on the right path.
- Do not join those who drink too much wine or gorge themselves on meat,
- for drunkards and gluttons become poor, and drowsiness clothes them in rags.
- Listen to your father, who gave you life, and do not despise your mother when she is old.
- Buy the truth and do not sell it; get wisdom, discipline and understanding.
|
- The father of a righteous man has great joy; he who has a wise son delights in him.
- May your father and mother be glad; may she who gave you birth rejoice!
- My son, give me your heart and let your eyes keep to my ways,
