A wise son makes a father glad, but a foolish man despises his mother.

The proverbs of Solomon. A wise son makes a glad father; but a foolish son brings grief to his mother.

Whoever loves wisdom brings joy to his father; but a companion of prostitutes squanders his wealth.

"The eye that mocks at his father, and scorns obedience to his mother: the ravens of the valley shall pick it out, the young eagles shall eat it.

"Honor your father and your mother, that your days may be long in the land which Yahweh your God gives you.

"'Each one of you shall respect his mother and his father. You shall keep my Sabbaths. I am Yahweh your God.

Also thus said the king, 'Blessed be Yahweh, the God of Israel, who has given one to sit on my throne this day, my eyes even seeing it.'"

Now therefore don't hold him guiltless, for you are a wise man; and you will know what you ought to do to him, and you shall bring his gray head down to Sheol with blood."

It happened, when Hiram heard the words of Solomon, that he rejoiced greatly, and said, "Blessed is Yahweh this day, who has given to David a wise son over this great people."

My son, if your heart is wise, then my heart will be glad, even mine:

Listen to your father who gave you life, and don't despise your mother when she is old.

But you know the proof of him, that, as a child serves a father, so he served with me in furtherance of the Good News.
