Chasten thy son while there is hope, and let not thy soul spare for his crying.
A man of great wrath shall suffer punishment: for if thou deliver [him], yet thou must do it again.
Hear counsel, and receive instruction, that thou mayest be wise in thy latter end.
[There are] many devices in a man's heart; nevertheless the counsel of the LORD, that shall stand.
The desire of a man [is] his kindness: and a poor man [is] better than a liar.
The fear of the LORD [tendeth] to life: and [he that hath it] shall abide satisfied; he shall not be visited with evil.
A slothful [man] hideth his hand in [his] bosom, and will not so much as bring it to his mouth again.
Smite a scorner, and the simple will beware: and reprove one that hath understanding, [and] he will understand knowledge.
He that wasteth [his] father, [and] chaseth away [his] mother, [is] a son that causeth shame, and bringeth reproach.
Cease, my son, to hear the instruction [that causeth] to err from the words of knowledge.
