⁹ One who is slack in his work Is brother to him who is a master of destruction.

²⁶ He who robs his father and drives away his mother, Is a son who causes shame and brings reproach.

² He said to his mother, The eleven hundred [pieces] of silver that were taken from you, about which you did utter a curse, and did also speak it in my ears, behold, the silver is with me; I took it. His mother said, Blessed be my son of Yahweh.

⁴ For God commanded, 'Honor your father and your mother,' and, 'He who speaks evil of father or mother, let him be put to death.'

⁵ But you say, 'Whoever may tell his father or his mother, "Whatever help you might otherwise have gotten from me is a gift devoted to God,"

⁶ he shall not honor his father or mother.' You have made the commandment of God void because of your tradition.

²⁰ One who walks with wise men grows wise, But a companion of fools suffers harm.
