^20 (A)A wise son makes a father glad,
But a foolish man despises his mother.

²¹ He who begets a scoffer does so to his sorrow,
And the father of a fool has no joy.

²⁵ A ^(A)foolish son is a grief to his father,
And bitterness to her who bore him.

^13 (A)A foolish son is the ruin of his father,
^(B)And the contentions of a wife are a continual ^[a]dripping.

³ Whoever loves wisdom makes his father rejoice,
But a companion of harlots wastes his wealth.

¹⁵ The rod and rebuke give ^(A)wisdom,
But a child left to himself brings shame to his mother.
