He that afflicteth his father, and chaseth away his mother, is infamous and unhappy.
A wise servant shall rule over foolish sons, and shall divide the inheritance among the brethren.
He that gathered in the harvest is a wise son: but he that snorteth in the summer, is the son of confusion.
But as soon as this thy son is come, who hath devoured his substance with harlots, thou hast killed for him the fatted calf.
The eye that mocketh at his father, and that despiseth the labour of his mother in bearing him, let the ravens of the brooks pick it out, and the young eagles eat it.
There is a generation that curseth their father, and doth not bless their mother.
He that stealeth any thing from his father, or from his mother: and saith, This is no sin, is the partner of a murderer.
Blessed is the man that is always fearful: but he that is hardened in mind, shall fall into evil.
He that keepeth the law is a wise son: but he that feedeth gluttons, shameth his father.
A foolish son is the anger of the father: and the sorrow of the mother that bore him.
A wise son maketh the father glad: but a foolish son is the sorrow of his mother.
Cease not, O my son, to hear instruction, and be not ignorant of the words of knowledge.
