1  A wise son hears his father’s ^uinstruction,

but a scoffer does not listen to rebuke.

10  By insolence comes nothing but strife,

but with those who take advice is wisdom.

13  Whoever ⁱdespises the word¹ brings destruction on himself,

but he who reveres the commandment² will be rewarded.

18  Poverty and ^odisgrace come to him who ^pignores instruction,

but whoever ^qheeds reproof is honored.
