will have to live in poverty and shame.
But those who listen will be honored.” (Source: Newari Back Translation) - Hiligaynon: “A man who does not want his behavior to-be-straightened will-become-poor and put-to-shame, but the one-who-wants- his behavior -to-be-straightened will-be-honored.” (Source: Hiligaynon Back Translation)
