He who robshis fatheror his motherAnd says,"It is not a transgression,"Is the companionof a manwho destroys.
Allmy boneswill say,"LORD,whois likeYou, Who deliversthe afflictedfrom him whois toostrongfor him, And the afflictedand the needyfrom him who robshim?"
He who walkswith wisemenwill be wise,But the companionof foolswill sufferharm.
He alsowho is slackin his workIs brotherto him who destroys.
He who assaults[his] father[and] drives[his] motherawayIs a shamefuland disgracefulson.
He who is generouswill be blessed,For he givessomeof his foodto the poor.
He who keepsthe lawis a discerningson,But he who is a companionof gluttonshumiliateshis father.
He saidto his mother,"The elevenhundred[pieces] of silverwhichwere takenfrom you, about which you uttereda cursein my hearing,behold,the silveris with me; I tookit." And his mothersaid,"Blessedbe my sonby the LORD."
