Whoso keepeth the law[ is] a wise son: but he that is a companion of riotous[ men] shameth his father.

The one who keeps the law is a discerning child, but a companion of gluttons brings shame to his parents.

For we have spent enough of our past time doing the desire of the Gentiles, and having walked in lewdness, lusts, drunken binges, orgies, carousings, and abominable idolatries.They think it is strange that you don’t run with them into the same excess of riot, blaspheming.

Whoever loves wisdom brings joy to his father; but a companion of prostitutes squanders his wealth.

The rod of correction gives wisdom, but a child left to himself causes shame to his mother.

Whoever robs his father or his mother and says,“ It’s not wrong,” is a partner with a destroyer.

He who robs his father and drives away his mother, is a son who causes shame and brings reproach.

But when this your son came, who has devoured your living with prostitutes, you killed the fattened calf for him.’

My son, if you will receive my words, and store up my commandments within you,so as to turn your ear to wisdom, and apply your heart to understanding;yes, if you call out for discernment, and lift up your voice for understanding;if you seek her as silver, and search for her as for hidden treasures:then you will understand the fear of Yahweh, and find the knowledge of God.For Yahweh gives wisdom. Out of his mouth comes knowledge and understanding.

Not many days after, the younger son gathered all of this together and traveled into a far country. There he wasted his property with riotous living.

My son, don’t forget my teaching; but let your heart keep my commandments:for they will add to you length of days, years of life, and peace.Don’t let kindness and truth forsake you. Bind them around your neck. Write them on the tablet of your heart.So you will find favor, and good understanding in the sight of God and man.Trust in Yahweh with all your heart, and don’t lean on your own understanding.In all your ways acknowledge him, and he will make your paths straight.Don’t be wise in your own eyes. Fear Yahweh, and depart from evil.It will be health to your body, and nourishment to your bones.Honor Yahweh with your substance, with the first fruits of all your increase:so your barns will be filled with plenty, and your vats will overflow with new wine.My son, don’t despise Yahweh’s discipline, neither be weary of his correction;for whom Yahweh loves, he corrects, even as a father reproves the son in whom he delights.Happy is the man who finds wisdom, the man who gets understanding.For her good profit is better than getting silver, and her return is better than fine gold.She is more precious than rubies. None of the things you can desire are to be compared to her.Length of days is in her right hand. In her left hand are riches and honor.Her ways are ways of pleasantness. All her paths are peace.She is a tree of life to those who lay hold of her. Happy is everyone who retains her.By wisdom Yahweh founded the earth. By understanding, he established the heavens.By his knowledge, the depths were broken up, and the skies drop down the dew.My son, let them not depart from your eyes. Keep sound wisdom and discretion:so they will be life to your soul, and grace for your neck.Then you shall walk in your way securely. Your foot won’t stumble.When you lie down, you will not be afraid. Yes, you will lie down, and your sleep will be sweet.Don’t be afraid of sudden fear, neither of the desolation of the wicked, when it comes;for Yahweh will be your confidence, and will keep your foot from being taken.Don’t withhold good from those to whom it is due, when it is in the power of your hand to do it.Don’t say to your neighbor,“ Go, and come again; tomorrow I will give it to you,” when you have it by you.Don’t devise evil against your neighbor, since he dwells securely by you.Don’t strive with a man without cause, if he has done you no harm.Don’t envy the man of violence. Choose none of his ways.For the perverse is an abomination to Yahweh, but his friendship is with the upright.Yahweh’s curse is in the house of the wicked, but he blesses the habitation of the righteous.Surely he mocks the mockers, but he gives grace to the humble.The wise will inherit glory, but shame will be the promotion of fools.

Listen, my son, and be wise, and keep your heart on the right path!Don’t be among ones drinking too much wine, or those who gorge themselves on meat:for the drunkard and the glutton shall become poor; and drowsiness clothes them in rags.Listen to your father who gave you life, and don’t despise your mother when she is old.
