The one who keeps the law is a son with understanding, but a companion of gluttons shames his father.
He who loves wisdom makes his father glad, but a companion of prostitutes squanders his wealth.
Not many days later, the younger son gathered all he had and took a journey into a far country, and there he squandered his property in reckless living.
The rod and reproof give wisdom, but a child left to himself brings shame to his mother.
Whoever robs his father or his mother and says, “That is no transgression,” is a companion to a man who destroys.
He who does violence to his father and chases away his mother is a son who brings shame and reproach.
But when this son of yours came, who has devoured your property with prostitutes, you killed the fattened calf for him!’
