1 A wise son listens to his father’s instruction,but a scoffer doesn’t listen to rebuke.
2 By the fruit of his lips, a man enjoys good things;but the unfaithful crave violence.
3 He who guards his mouth guards his soul.One who opens wide his lips comes to ruin.
4 The soul of the sluggard desires, and has nothing,but the desire of the diligent shall be fully satisfied.
