²⁶ He who mistreats his father and chases away his mother
Is ^(A)a son who causes shame and brings reproach.

² A wise servant will rule over ^(A)a son who causes shame,
And will share an inheritance among the brothers.

^4 (A)An^[a] excellent wife is the crown of her husband,
But she who causes shame is ^(B)like rottenness in his bones.

^6 (A)Seek the Lord while He may be ^(B)found,
Call upon Him while He is near.
^7 (C)Let the ^[a]wicked forsake his way,
And the unrighteous man ^(D)his thoughts;
Let him return to the Lord,
^(E)And He will have mercy on him;
And to our God,
For He will abundantly pardon.
