1. A slothful man is compared to a stone that is defiled; And every one will hiss him out in his disgrace.
2. A slothful man is compared to the filth of a dunghill: Every man that takes it up will shake out his hand.
3. A father has shame in having begotten an uninstructed son; And a foolish daughter is born to his loss.
4. A prudent daughter shall inherit a husband of her own; And she that brings shame is the grief of her father.
5. She that is bold brings shame upon father and husband; And she shall be despised of them both.
6. Unseasonable discourse is as music in mourning; But stripes and correction are wisdom at every season.
7. He that teaches a fool is as one that glues a potsherd together; Even as one that wakes a sleeper out of a deep sleep.
