1. A wise son accepts his father’s discipline,but a scoffer does not listen to rebuke.
2. From the fruit of his speech a person eats good things,but the faithless desire the fruit of violence.
3. The one who guards his words guards his life,but whoever is talkative will come to ruin.
4. The appetite of the sluggard craves but gets nothing,but the desire of the diligent will be abundantly satisfied.
