¹³ A foolish child is a ruin to his father,
    and the quarreling of a woman^[a] is a continuous dripping.
¹⁴ A house and wealth are an inheritance from fathers,
    but from Yahweh comes a woman^[b] who is prudent.

²⁶ He who does violence to a father, he who chases away a mother,
    is a child who causes shame and brings reproach.
²⁷ Cease to listen to instruction, my child,
    and you will stray^[a] from sayings of knowledge.

²⁰ He who curses his father and his mother,
    his lamp will be extinguished in the midst of darkness.^[a]

¹⁵ Folly is bound up in the heart^[a] of a boy;^[b]
    the rod of discipline will drive it^[c] from him.
