1 A wise son accepts his father's discipline, But a scoffer does not listen to rebuke.
2 From the fruit of a man's mouth he enjoys good, But the desire of the treacherous is violence.
3 The one who guards his mouth preserves his life; The one who opens wide his lips comes to ruin.
4 The soul of the sluggard craves and gets nothing, But the soul of the diligent is made fat.
