¹³ A foolish son is a disaster to his father;
    a contentious wife is like constant dripping.
¹⁴ House and riches are an inheritance from one’s ancestors,
    but an insightful wife is from the Lord.

²⁶ Those who assault their father and drive out their mother
    are disgraceful children, worthy of reproach.
²⁷ If, my child, you stop listening to discipline,
    you will wander away from words of knowledge.

²⁰ Those who curse their father or mother—
    their lamp will be snuffed out when it becomes dark.

¹⁵ Folly is bound up in a child’s heart;
    the rod of discipline removes it.

²⁸ Don’t remove an ancient boundary marker
    that your ancestors established.

²² Listen to your father, who gave you life;
    don’t despise your elderly mother.

²⁴ The father of the righteous will be very happy;
    the one who gives life to the wise will rejoice.
²⁵ Your father and your mother will rejoice;
    she who gave you birth will be happy.

⁸ Like a bird wandering from its nest,
    so is one who wanders from home.

¹⁰ Don’t desert your friend or a friend of your family;
    don’t go to your relative’s house when disaster strikes.
    Better a neighbor nearby than a relative far away.

⁷ Intelligent children follow Instruction,
    but those who befriend gluttons shame their parents.
