Whoever keeps the law is a wise son; but he who is a companion of gluttons shames his father.
He who robs his father and drives away his mother, is a son who causes shame and brings reproach.
Whoever robs his father or his mother, and says, *It's not wrong.* He is a partner with a destroyer.
The rod of correction gives wisdom, but a child left to himself causes shame to his mother.
Whoever loves wisdom brings joy to his father; but a companion of prostitutes squanders his wealth.
Not many days after, the younger son gathered all of this together and traveled into a far country. There he wasted his property with riotous living.
But when this, your son, came, who has devoured your living with prostitutes, you killed the fattened calf for him.'
