SEV Biblia, Chapter 15:20
¶ El hijo sabio alegra al padre; mas el hombre loco menosprecia a su madre.
John Gill's Bible Commentary
Ver. 20. A wise son maketh a glad father , etc.] (See Gill on “ Proverbs 10:1”); but a foolish man despiseth his mother ; that bore him and brought him up, and perhaps was too indulgent to him; which aggravates his sin and her sorrow; (see Gill on “ Proverbs 10:1”); or causes her to be despised by others, as Jarchi interprets it; such a man’s sin, which is great folly, and shows him to be a foolish man, is highly resented by the Lord, and will be severely punished; (see Proverbs 30:17). The Targum is, “a foolish son despises his mother;” and so the Septuagint, Syriac, and Arabic versions, which makes the antithesis more clear; and the Hebrew text designs one grown up to man’s estate.
Matthew Henry Commentary
Verses 20 - Those who treat an aged mother or a father with contempt or neglect show their own folly.
