Proverbs19:26
26 He that wasteth his father , and chaseth away his mother , is a son that causeth shame, and bringeth reproach .
i. e. His Fathers estate by unjust or riotous courses.
Causeth her to avoid and abhor his presence and society, and to go from the House where he is.
Both to himself and to his Parents and Family. But this Verse may very well be rendred otherwise, the last words being made the subject of the Proposition, as is usual in Scripture, A Son that causeth shame and bringeth reproach (upon himself and his friends by wicked ways) wasteth his Fathers (estate and health and comfort) and chaseth or driveth away his Mother. These are the effects of his wickedness.
