Proverbs 15:5
A fool despiseth his father’s instruction: but he that regardeth reproof is prudent.
KJV
Stultus irridet disciplinam patris sui ; qui autem custodit increpationes astutior fiet. In abundanti justitia virtus maxima est : cogitationes autem impiorum eradicabuntur.
Vulgate
ἄφρων μυκτηρίζει παιδίαν πατρός, ὁ δὲ φυλάσσων ἐντολὰς πανουργότερος.
LXX
A fool despiseth his father’s correction; But he that regardeth reproof getteth prudence.
