Hear, my son, and receive my sayings, And years of life are multiplied to thee.

For by me your days will be multiplied,
And years of life will be added to you.

A foolish (ungodly) son is destruction to his father,
And the contentions of a [quarrelsome] wife are like a constant dripping [of water].

A stedfast man hath multiplied blessings, And whoso is hasting to be rich is not acquitted.

Whoso is giving to the poor hath no lack, And whoso is hiding his eyes multiplied curses.

When the wicked are multiplied, transgression increaseth: but the righteous shall see their fall.
