20  ^xIf one curses his ^yfather or his mother,

his lamp will be put out in utter darkness.

24  Whoever ^probs his ^qfather or his mother

and says, “That is no transgression,”

is a companion to a man who destroys.

11  There are those¹ who curse their ^afathers

and do not bless their mothers.

17  The eye that mocks a father

and scorns to obey a mother

will be picked out by the ravens of the valley

and ^featen by the vultures.
