Hear the instructions of thy Farther,

and forsake not the law of thy mother.

For they shall be an ornament of grace unto thy head,

and chains about thy neck.

Whoever loves discipline loves knowledge,

but he who hates reproof is stupid.

A soft answer turns away wrath,

but a harsh word stirs up anger.

The tongue of the wise commends knowledge,

but the mouths of fools pour out folly.

A scoffer does not like to be reproved;

he will not go to the wise.

The heart of him who has understanding seeks knowledge,

but the mouths of fools feed on folly.
