26 Celui qui ruine son père et qui met en fuite sa mère Est un fils qui fait honte et qui fait rougir.

27 Cesse, mon fils, d’écouter l’instruction, Si c’est pour t’éloigner des paroles de la science.

28 Un témoin pervers se moque de la justice, Et la bouche des méchants dévore l’iniquité.

29 Les châtiments sont prêts pour les moqueurs, Et les coups pour le dos des insensés.
