Proverbs 10:1

The proverbs of Solomon the son of David, king of Israel;

A foolish son is a grief to his father, and bitterness to her that bare him.

The rod and reproof give wisdom: but a child left to himself bringeth his mother to shame.

Whoso loveth wisdom rejoiceth his father: but he that keepeth company with harlots spendeth his substance.

A wise son maketh a glad father: but a foolish man despiseth his mother.

He that begetteth a fool doeth it to his sorrow: and the father of a fool hath no joy.

And moreover, because the preacher was wise, he still taught the people knowledge; yea, he gave good heed, and sought out, and set in order many proverbs.

A foolish son is the calamity of his father: and the contentions of a wife are a continual dropping.

These are also proverbs of Solomon, which the men of Hezekiah king of Judah copied out.

And who knoweth whether he shall be a wise man or a fool? yet shall he have rule over all my labour wherein I have laboured, and wherein I have shewed myself wise under the sun. This is also vanity.

And he spake three thousand proverbs: and his songs were a thousand and five.
