A foolish child is a grief to his father, and bitterness to the mother who bore him.

May your father and your mother have joy; may she who bore you rejoice.

A friend loves at all times, and a relative is born to help in adversity.

Whoever brings a fool into the world does so to his grief, and the father of a fool has no joy.

Listen to your father who begot you, and do not despise your mother when she is old.

The father of a righteous person will rejoice greatly; whoever fathers a wise child will have joy in him.

Do not boast about tomorrow; for you do not know what a day may bring forth.
