They despise their father and mother:
Proverbs 15:5
A fool spurns his father's discipline, but whoever heeds correction shows prudence.
Proverbs 15:20
A wise son brings joy to his father, but a foolish man despises his mother.
They curse their father:
Proverbs 30:11
“There are those who curse their fathers and do not bless their mothers;
They make them ashamed:
Proverbs 19:26
He who robs his father and drives out his mother is a son who brings shame and disgrace.
They are the calamity of their parents:
Proverbs 19:13
A foolish son is his father's ruin, and a quarrelsome wife is like a constant dripping.
They cause them to sorrow:
Proverbs 17:25
A foolish son brings grief to his father and bitterness to the one who bore him.
They despise their elders:
Job 19:18
Even the little boys scorn me; when I appear, they ridicule me.
Mark 13:13
All men will hate you because of me, but he who stands firm to the end will be saved.
Even as we take on the identity of the One Whom we love, so will the world come to despise us even as it despised Him. He entered the world to save it, but was mocked, scorned, and afflicted. We ought to expect no less vile action from the world and its wicked corruption. Yet for Him Who overcomes and perseveres in the strength of His God-granted faith: life, eternal and abundant. Rejoice therefore in your suffering as it works for you a far more exceeding weight of glory!
