Proverbs 28:7

The Message

Practice God’s law—get a reputation for wisdom; hang out with a loose crowd—embarrass your family.

See the chapter Copy

Kids who lash out against their parents are an embarrassment and disgrace.

Anyone who robs father and mother and says, “So, what’s wrong with that?” is worse than a pirate.

Wise discipline imparts wisdom; spoiled adolescents embarrass their parents.

If you love wisdom, you’ll delight your parents, but you’ll destroy their trust if you run with prostitutes.
