A servantwho actswiselywill ruleover a sonwho actsshamefully,And will sharein the inheritanceamongbrothers.
He who gathersin summeris a sonwho actswisely,[But] he who sleepsin harvestis a sonwho actsshamefully.
He who troubleshis own housewill inheritwind,And the foolishwill be servantto the wisehearted.
The king'sfavoris toward a servantwho actswisely,But his angeris toward him who actsshamefully.
Betteris a drymorseland quietnesswith it Thana housefullof feastingwith strife.
The refiningpotis for silverand the furnacefor gold,But the LORDtestshearts.
He who assaults[his] father[and] drives[his] motherawayIs a shamefuland disgracefulson.
The rodand reproofgivewisdom,But a childwho getshis own waybringsshameto his mother.
