10 Proverbs of Sol′o·mon.+

A wise son is the one that makes a father rejoice,+ and a stupid son is the grief of his mother.+

22 Listen to your father who caused your birth,+ and do not despise your mother just because she has grown old.+

17 The eye that holds a father in derision and that despises obedience to a mother+—the ravens of the torrent valley will pick it out and the sons of the eagle will eat it up.
