He who keeps the law is a wise son, but he who keeps company with feasters puts shame on his father.
He who is violent to his father, driving away his mother, is a son causing shame and a bad name.
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.
The rod and sharp words give wisdom: but a child who is not guided is a cause of shame to his mother.
A man who is a lover of wisdom is a joy to his father: but he who goes in the company of loose women is a waster of wealth.
And not long after, the younger son got together everything which was his and took a journey into a far-away country, and there all his money went in foolish living.
But when this your son came, who has been wasting your property with bad women, you put to death the fat young ox for him.
