Proverbs 17:25

Wycliffe's Bible with Modern Spelling

A fond [or foolish] son is the ire [or the wrath] of the father, and the sorrow of the mother that bare him.

See the chapter Copy

Forsooth it was told to Joab, that the king wept, and bewailed his son;

The parables of Solomon. A wise son maketh glad his father; but a fond [or foolish] son is the sorrow of his mother.

A wise son maketh glad his father; but a fond [or foolish] man despiseth his mother.

A fool is born in his shame; but neither the father shall be glad in a fool.

The sorrow of the father is a fond [or foolish] son; and roofs dropping continually is a woman full of chiding.

Thy father and thy mother have joy, and he that begat thee, make full out joy.

A rod and chastising [or discipline] shall give wisdom; but a child, that is left to his own will, shameth his mother.
