For a son treats a father with contempt; a daughter rises up against her mother, a daughter-in-law against her mother-in-law; [the] enemies of a man [are] the men of his own house.

The nations will see and be ashamed because of all their might. They will lay [the] hand on [the] mouth; their ears will be deaf.
