Listen, children, to a father’s instruction, and pay attention so that you may gain discernment.

A wise son accepts his father’s discipline, but a scoffer does not listen to rebuke.

A wise child brings joy to his father, but a foolish person despises his mother.

The one who robs his father and chases away his mother is a son who brings shame and disgrace.

The Proverbs of Solomon: A wise child makes a father rejoice, but a foolish child is a grief to his mother.
