Proverbs 19:26–28

26 Whoever robs their father and drives out their mother

is a child who brings shame and disgrace.

27 Stop listening to instruction, my son,

and you will stray from the words of knowledge.

28 A corrupt witness mocks at justice,

and the mouth of the wicked gulps down evil.

26 He that wasteth his father, and chaseth away his mother,

Is a son that causeth shame, and bringeth reproach.

27 Cease, my son, to hear the instruction

That causeth to err from the words of knowledge.

28 An ungodly witness scorneth judgment:

And the mouth of the wicked devoureth iniquity.

26 Children who mistreat their father or chase away their mother

are an embarrassment and a public disgrace.

27 If you stop listening to instruction, my child,

you will turn your back on knowledge.

And the mouth of the wicked devours iniquity.

26 A child who robs his father and sends away his mother

or you will forget what you have already learned.

28 An evil witness makes fun of fairness,

and wicked people love what is evil.

26 He that doeth violence to his father, and chaseth away his mother,

Is a son that causeth shame and bringeth reproach.

Only to err from the words of knowledge.

And the mouth of the wicked swalloweth iniquity.
