^dA wise son makes a glad father,

^ebut a foolish son is a sorrow to his mother.

20  ^kA wise son makes a glad father,

but a foolish man despises his mother.

11  ^jBe wise, ^kmy son, and ^lmake my heart glad,

that I may ^manswer him who reproaches me.

7  The one who keeps the law is a son with understanding,

but ^ma companion of gluttons shames his father.
