1 A wise son listens to the discipline of his father,but a mocker doesn’t listen to correction.
2 People eat well from the fruit of their words,but the treacherous have an appetite only for violence.
3 People who watch their mouths guard their lives,but those who open their lips are ruined.
4 The lazy have strong desires but receive nothing;the appetite of the diligent is satisfied.
5 The righteous hate false words,but the wicked create disgust and scorn.
6 Righteousness guards the innocent on the path,but wickedness misleads sinners.
