²⁶ Children who mistreat their father or chase away their mother
    are an embarrassment and a public disgrace.

² A wise servant will rule over the master’s disgraceful son
    and will share the inheritance of the master’s children.

⁵ A wise youth harvests in the summer,
    but one who sleeps during harvest is a disgrace.

¹⁷ The eye that mocks a father
    and despises a mother’s instructions
will be plucked out by ravens of the valley
    and eaten by vultures.

¹¹ Some people curse their father
    and do not thank their mother.

²⁴ Anyone who steals from his father and mother
    and says, “What’s wrong with that?”
    is no better than a murderer.

¹⁴ Blessed are those who fear to do wrong,^[a]
    but the stubborn are headed for serious trouble.

⁷ Young people who obey the law are wise;
    those with wild friends bring shame to their parents.^[a]

²² Listen to your father, who gave you life,
    and don’t despise your mother when she is old.
²³ Get the truth and never sell it;
    also get wisdom, discipline, and good judgment.
²⁴ The father of godly children has cause for joy.
    What a pleasure to have children who are wise.^[a]
25 So give your father and mother joy!
    May she who gave you birth be happy.
