²⁶ He that doeth violence to his father, and chaseth away his mother, Is a son that causeth shame and bringeth reproach.

¹⁷ The eye that mocketh at his father, And despiseth to obey his mother, The ravens of the valley shall pick it out, And the young eagles shall eat it.

² A servant that dealeth wisely shall have rule over a son that causeth shame, And shall have part in the inheritance among the brethren.

⁵ He that gathereth in summer is a wise son; `But' he that sleepeth in harvest is a son that causeth shame.

³⁰ but when this thy son came, who hath devoured thy living with harlots, thou killedst for him the fatted calf.

¹² and the younger of them said to his father, Father, give me the portion of `thy' substance that falleth to me. And he divided unto them his living.

¹³ And not many days after, the younger son gathered all together and took his journey into a far country; and there he wasted his substance with riotous living.

¹⁴ And when he had spent all, there arose a mighty famine in that country; and he began to be in want.

¹⁵ And he went and joined himself to one of the citizens of that country; and he sent him into his fields to feed swine.

¹⁶ And he would fain have filled his belly with the husks that the swine did eat: and no man gave unto him.

¹¹ There is a generation that curse their father, And bless not their mother.

²⁴ Whoso robbeth his father or his mother, and saith, It is no transgression, The same is the companion of a destroyer.

¹⁴ Happy is the man that feareth alway; But he that hardeneth his heart shall fall into mischief.

⁷ Whoso keepeth the law is a wise son; But he that is a companion of gluttons shameth his father.

²² Hearken unto thy father that begat thee, And despise not thy mother when she is old.

²³ Buy the truth, and sell it not; `Yea', wisdom, and instruction, and understanding.

²⁴ The father of the righteous will greatly rejoice; And he that begetteth a wise child will have joy of him.

²⁵ Let thy father and thy mother be glad, And let her that bare thee rejoice.

²⁵ A foolish son is a grief to his father, And bitterness to her that bare him.

¹ The proverbs of Solomon. A wise son maketh a glad father; But a foolish son is the heaviness of his mother.

¹⁸ If a man have a stubborn and rebellious son, that will not obey the voice of his father, or the voice of his mother, and, though they chasten him, will not hearken unto them;

¹⁹ then shall his father and his mother lay hold on him, and bring him out unto the elders of his city, and unto the gate of his place;

²⁰ and they shall say unto the elders of his city, This our son is stubborn and rebellious, he will not obey our voice; he is a glutton, and a drunkard.

²¹ And all the men of his city shall stone him to death with stones: so shalt thou put away the evil from the midst of thee; and all Israel shall hear, and fear.
