Only a foolish son despises his father's instruction, but one who accepts correction is sensible.

10 Di da wadela: i hou hamosea, se iasu ba: mu. Di da Gode Ea afadenemusa: se iasu higasea, di da bogomu.
If you leave the right path you will be severely disciplined; anyone who hates correction will die.
11 Hina Gode da liligi huluanedafa dawa: E da bogosu soge amo ganodini diala liligi huluane dawa: Amaiba: le, dunu da ea asigi dawa: su amo Hina Godema habodane wamolegema: bela: ? (Sheol h7585)
Those already dead have no secrets from the Lord—how much more does he know our thoughts! (Sheol h7585)

It's better to respect the Lord and only have a little than to have plenty of money and the trouble that comes with it.

Good people think how best to answer questions, but stupid people say all kinds of evil things.
29 Amola moloidafa dunu e sia: ne gadosea, Hina Gode E da naba. Be wadela: i hou hamosu dunu da sia: ne gadosea, E da hame naba.
The Lord keeps his distance from the wicked, but he hears the prayers of the good.
