The coroun of elde men is the sones of sones; and the glorie of sones is the fadris of hem.

8 Vatosoa am-pihainom-pahazo aze ty falalàñe, mampitombo mb’atia mb’aroa.

16 Aia ty dagola te hinday drala an-taña’e hikaloa’e hihitse kanao tsy an-tro’e ao ty hilala.
What profitith it to a fool to haue richessis, sithen he mai not bie wisdom? He that makith his hous hiy, sekith falling; and he that eschewith to lerne, schal falle in to yuels.
