A child who loves wisdom makes a parent glad, but to keep company with prostitutes is to squander one's substance.
Do not give your strength to women, your ways to those who destroy kings.
and at the end of your life you will groan, when your flesh and body are consumed,

He will accept no compensation, and refuses a bribe no matter how great.
Foreigners devour his strength, but he does not know it; gray hairs are sprinkled upon him, but he does not know it.
But when this son of yours came back, who has devoured your property with prostitutes, you killed the fatted calf for him!’
