אִ֣ישׁ אֹהֵ֣ב חָכְמָ֑ה יְשַׂמַּ֥ח אָ֝בִ֗יו וְרֹעֶ֥ה זוֹנ֗וֹת יְאַבֶּד הֽוֹן׃
ʾiysh ʾoheb ḥakmah yshamaḥ ʾabiyv vroʿeh zvonvot yʾabed hvon
King James Version (KJV)

Whoso loveth wisdom rejoiceth his father: but he that keepeth company with harlots spendeth his substance.

Modern English

He who loves wisdom makes his father glad, but a companion of prostitutes squanders his wealth.
