The father of the righteous rejoices greatly, || The begetter of the wise rejoices in him.

Do not labor to make wealth, || Cease from your own understanding, || Do you cause your eyes to fly on it? Then it is not.

For is there a posterity? Then your hope is not cut off.

Do not let your heart be envious at sinners, || But—in the fear of YHWH all the day.

Do not withhold discipline from a youth, || When you strike him with a rod he does not die.

Bring your heart to instruction, || And your ear to sayings of knowledge.

For wealth makes wings to itself, || It flies to the heavens as an eagle.

Listen to your father, who begot you, || And do not despise your mother when she has become old.
