This section covers the proverbs from chapter ten, verse one, to chapter 22, verse 16. It speaks about the formation and training of the son walke notices patterns in the ordering of the paring. Father is in the first verse, et mother in the second. The foolish son rejects the legacy of wisdom that the parents want to pass on. He brings grief to his parents. Verses two to five form a chiasm with verse one. This ends as the second half of verse one begins with the theme of bringing shame or pleasure to parents.
