1A wise son heeds his father’s discipline, but a mocker does not listen to rebuke.
2Kami loe angmah pahni ih athaih kahoih to caa tih; toe zaehaih sah kami loe athii palonghaih athaih to caa tih.
2From the fruit of his lips a man enjoys good things, but the desire of the faithless is violence.

3He who guards his mouth protects his life, but the one who opens his lips invites his own ruin.
