“Stultus irridet disciplinam patris sui ; qui autem custodit increpationes astutior fiet. In abundanti justitia virtus maxima est : cogitationes autem impiorum eradicabuntur.”
“A fool despiseth his father's instruction: but he that regardeth reproof is prudent.”
“A fool rejects his father’s discipline, but whoever heeds correction is prudent.”
“A fool despises his father’s correction, but he who heeds reproof shows prudence.”
“A fool despiseth his father's correction; But he that regardeth reproof getteth prudence.”
In abundant, &c. Is omitted in Hebrew, Chaldean, and many Greek and Latin copies. The same idea is expressed in the following verse.
3 The eyes of the Lord are in every place, beholding the evil and the good.
