lest the one who hears it put you to shame and your infamy will never go away.

Listen, my child, to the instruction from your father, and do not forsake the teaching from your mother.

Listen, my child, and accept my words, so that the years of your life will be many.

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

The ransom of a person’s life is his wealth, but the poor person hears no threat.

Listen to advice and receive discipline, that you may become wise by the end of your life.

Listen, my child, and be wise, and guide your heart on the right way.

Blessed is the one who listens to me, watching at my doors day by day, waiting beside my doorway.

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