Proverbs 30:17 The eye that mocketh at his father, and that despiseth the labour of his mother in bearing him, let the ravens of the brooks pick it out, and the young eagles eat it.

Labour. Septuagint, etc., "old age." Hebrew, "the obedience or admonition." Those who cursed their parents, were sentenced to death, Leviticus 20:6.
