3 A man who loves wisdom brings joy to his father, but a companion of prostitutes squanders his wealth.
3 Whoso loveth wisdom rejoiceth his father: but he that keepeth company with harlots spendeth his substance.
3 He who loves wisdom makes his father glad, but a companion of prostitutes squanders his wealth.
3 If you love wisdom, you'll delight your parents, but you'll destroy their trust if you run with whores.
3 Whoever loves wisdom makes his father rejoice, But a companion of harlots wastes his wealth.
3 The man who loves wisdom brings joy to his father, but if he hangs around with prostitutes, his wealth is wasted.
