²⁴ He who takes from his father or his mother what is theirs by right, and says, It is no sin; is the same as a taker of life.

⁹ He who does not give his mind to his work is brother to him who makes destruction.

²⁶ He who is violent to his father, driving away his mother, is a son causing shame and a bad name.

² And he said to his mother, The eleven hundred shekels of silver which were taken from you, about which you took an oath and said in my hearing, I have given this silver to the Lord from my hand for myself, to make a pictured image and a metal image: see, I have the silver, for I took it: so now I will give it back to you. And his mother said, May the blessing of the Lord be on my son.

⁷ He who keeps the law is a wise son, but he who keeps company with feasters puts shame on his father.

⁴ For God said, Give honour to your father and mother: and, He who says evil of father or mother will be put to death.

⁵ But you say, If a man says to his father or his mother, That by which you might have had profit from me is given to God;

⁶ There is no need for him to give honour to his father. And you have made the word of God without effect because of your teaching.

²⁰ Go with wise men and be wise: but he who keeps company with the foolish will be broken.
