1The sluggard is like a filthy stone; everyone hisses at his disgrace.
2The sluggard is like a lump of dung; whoever touches it shakes it off the hands.
3An undisciplined child is a disgrace to its father; if it be a daughter, she brings him to poverty.
4A thoughtful daughter obtains a husband of her own; a shameless one is her father’s grief.
5A hussy shames her father and her husband; she is despised by both.
6Like music at the time of mourning is ill-timed talk, but lashes and discipline are at all times wisdom.
