4 When their father passes away,it is as if he hadn’t died,because he left behind sonswho are like him.
5 When he was alive,he saw them and was glad,and at his end, he wasn’t grieved.
6 He was survived by thosewho would avenge himagainst his enemiesand who would repay kindnessto his friends.
7 A parent who spoils children nowwill end up tending to their wounds,and will experience heartacheat every outcry.
8 A horse that is unbrokenturns out stubborn,and a child, when given free rein,turns out reckless.
9 Indulge children,and they will terrorize you;play with them,and they will grieve you.
10 Don’t laugh together with them,so that you don’t suffer togetherand in the endgrind your teeth in regret.
