Sensible children bring joy to their father; foolish children despise their mother.

Only a fool despises a parent’s discipline; whoever learns from correction is wise.

The proverbs of Solomon: A wise child brings joy to a father; a foolish child brings grief to a mother.

Anyone who rebukes a mocker will get an insult in return. Anyone who corrects the wicked will get hurt.So don’t bother correcting mockers; they will only hate you. But correct the wise, and they will love you.

If someone sins against another person, God can mediate for the guilty party. But if someone sins against the Lord, who can intercede?” But Eli’s sons wouldn’t listen to their father, for the Lord was already planning to put them to death.

Therefore, listen to this message from the Lord, you scoffing rulers in Jerusalem.You boast,“ We have struck a bargain to cheat death and have made a deal to dodge the grave. The coming destruction can never touch us, for we have built a strong refuge made of lies and deception.”

My child, pay attention to what I say. Listen carefully to my words.Don’t lose sight of them. Let them penetrate deep into your heart,for they bring life to those who find them, and healing to their whole body.

A mocker seeks wisdom and never finds it, but knowledge comes easily to those with understanding.

My children, listen when your father corrects you. Pay attention and learn good judgment,for I am giving you good guidance. Don’t turn away from my instructions.For I, too, was once my father’s son, tenderly loved as my mother’s only child.My father taught me,“ Take my words to heart. Follow my commands, and you will live.Get wisdom; develop good judgment. Don’t forget my words or turn away from them.Don’t turn your back on wisdom, for she will protect you. Love her, and she will guard you.Getting wisdom is the wisest thing you can do! And whatever else you do, develop good judgment.If you prize wisdom, she will make you great. Embrace her, and she will honor you.She will place a lovely wreath on your head; she will present you with a beautiful crown.”My child, listen to me and do as I say, and you will have a long, good life.I will teach you wisdom’s ways and lead you in straight paths.When you walk, you won’t be held back; when you run, you won’t stumble.Take hold of my instructions; don’t let them go. Guard them, for they are the key to life.Don’t do as the wicked do, and don’t follow the path of evildoers.
