Proverbs 19:26-28
New Catholic Bible
26 Anyone who maltreats his father and casts out his mother[a]
is a shameful and despicable son.
27 If a son ceases to accept correction,
he strays from the words of knowledge.
28 A lying witness makes a mockery of justice,
and the mouth of the wicked feasts on iniquity.
