Proverbs 10:1

^1[+] The proverbs of Solomon, the son of David, king of Israel:

²⁵A foolish son brings grief to his father, and bitterness to her who bore him.

¹⁵The rod of correction gives wisdom, but a child left to himself causes shame to his mother.

^15[+] My son, if your heart is wise, then my heart will be glad, even mine. ¹⁶Yes, my heart will rejoice when your lips speak what is right.

³Whoever loves wisdom brings joy to his father; but a companion of prostitutes squanders his wealth.

²⁴The father of the righteous has great joy. Whoever fathers a wise child delights in him. ²⁵Let your father and your mother be glad! Let her who bore you rejoice!

²⁰A wise son makes a father glad, but a foolish man despises his mother.

²¹He who becomes the father of a fool grieves. The father of a fool has no joy.

⁹Further, because the Preacher was wise, he still taught the people knowledge. Yes, he pondered, sought out, and set in order many proverbs.

¹³A foolish son is the calamity of his father. A wife’s quarrels are a continual dripping.
