A man loving wisdom will gladden his father: and he feeding harlots shall destroy riches.
Proverbs of Solomon. A wise son will gladden a father: and a son of the foolish will grieve his mother.
A wise son will gladden the father: and the foolish man despised his mother.
A man of poverty loving joy: he loving wine and oil shall not be rich.
A treasure desired, and oil in the house of the wise one; and the foolish man will swallow it down.
My son, if thy heart be wise, my heart shall rejoice, even mine.
My son, be wise and gladden my heart, and I will turn back word to him reproaching me.
He working his land shall be filled with bread: and he pursuing the vain shall be filled with poverty.
He watching the law a son understanding: and the companion of squanderers will shame his father.
For by a woman a harlot, even to a round of bread: and a man's wife will hunt the precious soul.
And not many days after, having gathered all things, the younger son went abroad into a far-off country, and there disposed his property, living in a profligate manner.
And when this thy son, devouring thy property with harlots, came, thou hast sacrificed for him the fattened calf.
