¹³ A ^(A)foolish son is destruction to his father,
And the ^(B)contentions of a wife are a constant dripping.
¹⁴ House and wealth are an ^(C)inheritance from fathers,
But a wife who has insight is from Yahweh.

²⁶ He ^(A)who assaults his father and causes his mother to flee
Is a son who brings shame and humiliation.
²⁷ Cease listening, my son, to discipline,
And you will stray from the words of knowledge.

²⁰ He who ^(A)curses his father or his mother,
His ^(B)lamp will go out in the ^[a]midst of darkness.

¹⁵ Folly is bound up in the heart of a child;
The ^(A)rod of discipline will remove it far from him.

⁸ Like a ^(A)bird that wanders from her nest,
So is a man who ^(B)wanders from his place.

¹⁰ Do not forsake your ^(A)friend or ^(B)your father’s friend,
And do not come to your brother’s house in the day of your disaster;
Better is one who dwells near than a brother far away.
