24 O preguiçoso põe sua mão no prato, e nem sequer a leva de volta à boca.

25 Fere ao zombador, e o ingênuo será precavido; e repreende ao prudente, e ele aprenderá conhecimento.

26 Aquele que prejudica ao pai [ou] afugenta a mãe é filho causador de vergonha e de desgraça.

27 Filho meu, deixa de ouvir a instrução, [então] te desviarás das palavras de conhecimento.
