“He who mistreats his father and chases away his mother Is a son who causes shame and brings reproach” (Proverbs 19:26 NKJV).

The spared and spoiled child grows up to bring shame and blame on his parents. He squanders his father’s inheritance and puts his own mother out of the family home in her old age to fend for herself. Make no mistake, God sees such a one and holds him accountable for breaking the commandment to honor his father and mother.
