The father of the upright man will be glad, and he who has a wise child will have joy because of him.

The heritage of the good man is handed down to his children's children; and the wealth of the sinner is stored up for the upright man.

Give ear to your father whose child you are, and do not keep honour from your mother when she is old.

The rod and sharp words give wisdom: but a child who is not guided is a cause of shame to his mother.

Even a child may be judged by his doings, if his work is free from sin and if it is right.

If a child is trained up in the right way, even when he is old he will not be turned away from it.

Foolish ways are deep-seated in the heart of a child, but the rod of punishment will send them far from him.

Do not keep back training from the child: for even if you give him blows with the rod, it will not be death to him.

The underworld, and the woman without a child; the earth which never has enough water, and the fire which never says, Enough.
