26. He who does violence to a father, he who chases away a mother, is a child who causes shame and brings reproach.
27. Cease to listen to instruction, my child, and you will stray from sayings of knowledge.
28. A worthless witness will mock justice, and the mouth of the wicked will devour iniquity.
