1 A wise son listens to his father’s discipline,but a mocker does not listen to reprimands.
2 A person eats well as a result of his speaking ability,but the appetite of treacherous people ⌊craves⌋ violence.
3 Whoever controls his mouth protects his own life.Whoever has a big mouth comes to ruin.
4 A lazy person craves food and there is none,but the appetite of hard-working people is satisfied.
