Reading

The Book of Proverbs    30: 5-9

30:5	In his life, he saw him and rejoiced in him. And at his passing, he was not sorrowful, nor was he confounded in the sight of his enemies.
30:6	For he left behind himself a defender of his house against his enemies, and someone who will repay his friends with kindness.
30:7	For the sake of the souls of his sons, he will bind up his wounds, and at every voice, his gut will be stirred up.
30:8	An untamed horse becomes stubborn, and a child left to himself becomes headstrong.
30:9	Coddle a son, and he will make you afraid. Play with him, and he will make you sorrowful.
