Whoso robbeth his father or his mother, and saith, It is no transgression; the same is the companion of a destroyer.

Verse 24 is found in chapter 28 of Proverbs. Diligent work produces sustenance, while pursuing fantasies leads to poverty. Favoritism toward the rich is condemned even when it appears advantageous. Frank correction is preferable to flattery, and one who robs his parents and justifies it reveals corruption that contradicts family responsibility. The chapter thus maintains an integrated view of work, justice, truth, and relationships.

Wer seinem Vater oder seiner Mutter etwas nimmt und spricht, es sei nicht Sünde, der ist des Verderbers Geselle.
El que roba a su padre o a su madre, y dice que no es maldad, Compañero es del hombre destruidor.
Quien roba a su padre o a su madre y dice: «No es una transgresión», es compañero del destructor.
Celui qui vole son père et sa mère, Et qui dit: Ce n'est pas un péché! Est le compagnon du destructeur.
Chi ruba suo padre e sua madre, E dice: Non vi è misfatto alcuno, È compagno del ladrone
O que rouba a seu próprio pai, ou a sua mãe, e diz: Não é transgressão, companheiro é do homem destruidor.
搶奪父母竟說「這不是罪過」, 此人與毀滅者同類。
