The proverbs (truths obscurely expressed, maxims) of Solomon son of David, king of Israel:
My son, hear the instruction of your father,
And do not reject the teaching of your mother.
My son, do not reject or take lightly the discipline of the LORD [learn from your mistakes and the testing that comes from His correction through discipline];
Nor despise His rebuke,
For those whom the LORD loves He corrects,
Even as a father corrects the son in whom he delights.
Hear, O children, the instruction of a father,
And pay attention [and be willing to learn] so that you may gain understanding and intelligent discernment.
When I was a son with my father (David),
Tender and the only son in the sight of my mother (Bathsheba),
My son, pay attention to my words and be willing to learn;
Open your ears to my sayings.
My son, be attentive to my wisdom [godly wisdom learned by costly experience],
Incline your ear to my understanding;
Why should you, my son, be exhilarated with an immoral woman
And embrace the bosom of an outsider (pagan)?
My son, if you have become surety (guaranteed a debt or obligation) for your neighbor,
If you have given your pledge for [the debt of] a stranger or another [outside your family],
Do this now, my son, and release yourself [from the obligation];
[fn]Since you have come into the hand of your neighbor,
Go humble yourself, and plead with your neighbor [to pay his debt and release you].
My son, be guided by your father’s [God-given] commandment (instruction)
And do not [fn]reject the teaching of your mother;
My son, keep my words
And treasure my commandments within you [so they are readily available to guide you].
And among the naive [the inexperienced and gullible],
I saw among the youths
A young man lacking [good] sense,
Rejoicing in the world, His inhabited earth,
And having my delight in the sons of men.
“Now therefore, O sons, listen to me,
For blessed [happy, prosperous, to be admired] are they who keep my ways.
The proverbs of Solomon:
A wise son makes a father glad,
But a foolish [stubborn] son [who refuses to learn] is a grief to his mother.
He who gathers during summer and takes advantage of his opportunities is a son who acts wisely,
But he who sleeps during harvest and ignores the moment of opportunity is a son who acts shamefully.
A wise son heeds and accepts [and is the result of] his father’s discipline and instruction,
But a scoffer does not listen to reprimand and does not learn from his errors.
A good man leaves an inheritance to his children’s children,
And the wealth of the sinner is stored up for [the hands of] the righteous.
He who withholds the rod [of discipline] hates his son,
But he who loves him disciplines and trains him diligently and appropriately [with wisdom and love].
In the [reverent] fear of the LORD there is strong confidence,
And His children will [always] have a place of refuge.
Sheol (the nether world, the place of the dead) and Abaddon (the abyss, the place of eternal punishment) lie open before the LORD—
How much more the hearts and inner motives of the children of men.
A wise servant will rule over the [unworthy] son who acts shamefully and brings disgrace [to the family]
And [the worthy servant] will share in the inheritance among the brothers.
Grandchildren are the crown of aged men,
And the glory of children is their fathers [who live godly lives].
A foolish son is a grief and anguish to his father
And bitterness to her who gave birth to him.
A foolish (ungodly) son is destruction to his father,
And the contentions of a [quarrelsome] wife are like a constant dripping [of water].
Discipline and teach your son while there is hope,
And do not [indulge your anger or resentment by imposing inappropriate punishment nor] desire his destruction.
He who assaults his father and chases away his mother
Is a son who brings shame and disgrace.
Cease listening, my son, to instruction and discipline
And you will stray from the words of knowledge.
The righteous man who walks in integrity and lives life in accord with his [godly] beliefs—
How blessed [happy and spiritually secure] are his children after him [who have his example to follow].
My son, eat honey, because it is good,
And the drippings of the honeycomb are sweet to your taste.
My son, fear the LORD and the king;
And do not associate with those who are given to change [of allegiance, and are revolutionary],
My son, be wise, and make my heart glad,
That I may reply to him who reproaches (reprimands, criticizes) me.
He who keeps the law [of God and man] is a wise and discerning son,
But he who is a companion of gluttons humiliates his father [and himself].
