Proverbs 28:7

Contemporary English Version (Anglicised) 2012

It makes good sense to obey the Law of God, but you disgrace your parents if you make friends with worthless nobodies.

See the chapter Copy

Children who bring disgrace rob their father and chase their mother away.

If you cheat your parents and don't think it's wrong, you are a common thief.

Correct your children, and they will be wise; children out of control disgrace their mothers.

If you love wisdom your parents will be glad, but chasing after bad women will cost you everything.

Not long after that, the younger son packed up everything he owned and left for a foreign country, where he wasted all his money in wild living.

This other son of yours wasted your money on prostitutes. And now that he has come home, you ordered the best calf to be killed for a feast.”
