And among the naive [the inexperienced and gullible],
I saw among the youths
A young man lacking [good] sense,

In the twilight, in the evening;
In the black and dark night.

The glory of young men is their [physical] strength,
And the honor of aged men is their gray head [representing wisdom and experience].

And there will be enough goats’ milk for your food,
For the food of your household,
And for the maintenance of your maids.

He who cultivates his land will have plenty of bread,
But he who follows worthless people and frivolous pursuits will have plenty of poverty.

The leech has two daughters,
“Give, give!”
There are three things that are never satisfied,
Four that do not say, “It is enough”:

Sheol, and the barren womb,
Earth that is never satisfied with water,
And fire that never says, “It is enough.”

The eye that mocks a father
And scorns a mother,
The ravens of the valley will pick it out,
And the young vultures will devour it.
