Bible in Basic English
He who is violent to his father, driving away his mother, is a son causing shame and a bad name.
A son who no longer gives attention to teaching is turned away from the words of knowledge.
A good-for-nothing witness makes sport of the judge's decision: and the mouth of evil-doers sends out evil like a stream.
Rods are being made ready for the man of pride, and blows for the back of the foolish.
— Proverbs 19:26-1964, Bible in Basic English
“He that wasteth his father, and chaseth away his mother, is a son that causeth shame, and bringeth reproach. Cease, my son, to hear the instruction that causeth to err from the words of knowledge. An ungodly witness scorneth judgment: and the mouth of the wicked devoureth iniquity. Judgments are prepared for scorners, and stripes for the back of fools. ”
