1  A wise son hears his father’s instruction,

but ^qa scoffer does not listen to rebuke.

5  ^kA fool ^ldespises his father’s instruction,

but ^mwhoever heeds reproof is prudent.

20  ^kA wise son makes a glad father,

but a foolish man despises his mother.

20  ^gIf one curses his father or his mother,

^hhis lamp will be put out in utter darkness.
