¹³ A foolish son is a disaster to his father,
and a nagging wife is like constantly dripping water.
¹⁴ Home and wealth are an inheritance from fathers,
but a wife with good sense is from the Lord.

²⁶ A son who attacks his father and chases away his mother
brings shame and disgrace.
²⁷ If you stop listening to discipline, my son,
you will stray from the sayings that give knowledge.

²⁰ The person who curses his father and his mother—
his lamp will be snuffed out in total darkness.

¹⁵ Foolishness is bound tightly to a child’s heart.
A rod of discipline will drive it far from him.

²⁴ The father of a righteous child will celebrate greatly.
One who fathers a wise son will find joy in him.
²⁵ Your father and your mother will find joy,
and she who gave birth to you will celebrate.

⁸ A person who wanders from his place
    is like a bird that wanders from its nest.

¹⁰ Do not abandon your friend or your father’s friend,
and do not go to your brother’s house when disaster strikes you.
A neighbor who is near is better than a brother who is far away.

⁷ The son who keeps the law has understanding,
but a companion of gluttons brings shame upon his father.
