23. The Yirat Hashem tendeth to chayyim, and he that hath it shall rest secure; he shall not be visited by rah.

24. An atzel (sluggard, lazy one) thrusteth his yad into his dish, and will not so much as bring it back to his peh (mouth) again.

25. Strike a scoffer, and the simple will learn what is prudent, and reprove one that hath understanding, and he will understand da'as.

26. He that mistreateth his av, and driveth out his em, is a ben that causeth shame, and bringeth cherpah.

27. Cease, beni (my son), to hear musar and thou shalt go astray from the words of da'as.
