1  A wise son hears his father’s instruction,

but ^qa scoffer does not listen to rebuke.

10  ^fBy insolence comes nothing but strife,

but with those who take advice is wisdom.

13  Whoever ^jdespises ^kthe word¹ brings destruction on himself,

but he who reveres the commandment² will be ^lrewarded.

18  Poverty and disgrace come to him who ^tignores instruction,

^ubut whoever ^vheeds reproof is honored.
