At the head of the noisy streets she cries out, At the openings of the gates, In the city she speaks her words:
The wise one hears and increases learning, And the understanding one gets wise counsel,
My son, heed the discipline of your father, And do not forsake the Torah of your mother;
He who ignores discipline hates himself, But he who listens to reproof gets understanding.
Listen to counsel and accept discipline, So that you are wise in your latter end.
Children, listen to the discipline of a father, And give attention to know understanding;
My son, listen to my wisdom; Incline your ear to my understanding,
Take heed not to refuse the One speaking. For if those did not escape who refused the warning on earth, much less we who turn away from Him from heaven,
