He that wasteth his father, and chaseth away his mother, Is a son that causeth shame, and bringeth reproach.
The king's favour is toward a wise servant: But his wrath is against him that causeth shame.
The rod and reproof give wisdom: But a child left to himself bringeth his mother to shame.
He that troubleth his own house shall inherit the wind: And the fool shall be servant to the wise of heart.
Better is a dry morsel, and quietness therewith, Than an house full of sacrifices with strife.
The fining pot is for silver, and the furnace for gold: But the LORD trieth the hearts.
