He that loveth his son will continue to lay stripes upon him,

2 He that chastiseth his son shall have profit of him,

3 He that teacheth his son shall provoke his enemy to jealousy;

4 His father dieth, and is as though he had not died;

5 In his life, he saw and rejoiced in him;

6 He left behind him an avenger against his enemies,

7 He that maketh too much of his son shall bind up his wounds;

8 An unbroken horse becometh stubborn;

9 Cocker thy child, and he shall make thee afraid:

10 Laugh not with him, lest thou have sorrow with him;

11 Give him no liberty in his youth,

12 Bow down his neck in his youth,

13 Chastise thy son, and take pains with him,

14 Better is a poor man, being sound and strong of constitution,

15 Health and a good constitution are better than all gold;

16 There is no riches better than health of body;

17 Death is better than a bitter life,

18 Good things poured out upon a mouth that is closed

19 What doth an offering profit an idol?

20 Seeing with his eyes and groaning,

21 Give not over thy soul to sorrow;

22 Gladness of heart is the life of a man;

23 Love thine own soul, and comfort thy heart:

24 Envy and wrath shorten a man’s days;

25 A cheerful and good heart
