My son, hear the instruction of thy father, and forsake not the law of thy mother:

For I was my father's son, tender and only beloved in the sight of my mother.

My son, keep thy father's commandment, and forsake not the law of thy mother:

The proverbs of Solomon. A wise son maketh a glad father: but a foolish son is the heaviness of his mother.

A wise son maketh a glad father: but a foolish man despiseth his mother.

He that wasteth his father, and chaseth away his mother, is a son that causeth shame, and bringeth reproach.

Whoso curseth his father or his mother, his lamp shall be put out in obscure darkness.

Hearken unto thy father that begat thee, and despise not thy mother when she is old.

Thy father and thy mother shall be glad, and she that bare thee shall rejoice.

Whoso robbeth his father or his mother, and saith, It is no transgression; the same is the companion of a destroyer.

The rod and reproof give wisdom: but a child left to himself bringeth his mother to shame.

There is a generation that curseth their father, and doth not bless their mother.

The eye that mocketh at his father, and despiseth to obey his mother, the ravens of the valley shall pick it out, and the young eagles shall eat it.

The words of king Lemuel, the prophecy that his mother taught him.
