The Proverbs of Solomon. A wise son maketh a glad father: but a foolish son is the heaviness of his mother.

A wise son maketh a glad father: but a foolish man despiseth his mother.

He that begetteth a fool doeth it to his sorrow: and the father of a fool hath no joy.

A foolish son is the calamity of his father: and the contentions of a wife are a continual dropping.

Thy father and thy mother shall be glad, and she that bare thee shall rejoice.

The rod and reproof give wisdom: but a child left to himself bringeth his mother to shame.
