A wise son responds to his father’s discipline,
but a mocker doesn’t listen to rebuke.
From the fruit of his mouth,
a person will enjoy good things,
but treacherous people have an appetite for violence.
The one who guards his mouth protects his life;
the one who opens his lips invites his own ruin.
One person pretends to be rich but has nothing;
another pretends to be poor but has abundant wealth.
Arrogance leads to nothing but strife,
but wisdom is gained by those who take advice.
Wealth obtained by fraud will dwindle,
but whoever earns it through labor[fn] will multiply it.
The one who has contempt for instruction will pay the penalty,
but the one who respects a command will be rewarded.
A wise person’s instruction is a fountain of life,
turning people away from the snares of death.
Poverty and disgrace come to those
who ignore discipline,
but the one who accepts correction will be honored.
Desire fulfilled is sweet to the taste,
but to turn from evil is detestable to fools.
The one who walks with the wise will become wise,
but a companion of fools will suffer harm.
A good man leaves an inheritance to his[fn] grandchildren,
but the sinner’s wealth is stored up for the righteous.
The uncultivated field of the poor yields abundant food,
but without justice, it is swept away.
The one who will not use the rod hates his son,
but the one who loves him disciplines him diligently.
