Wasteth his father, i.e. his father's estate, by unjust or riotous courses. Chaseth away his mother; causeth her to avoid and abhor his presence and society, and to go from the house where he is. Bringeth reproach; both to himself, and to his parents and family. But this verse may very well be rendered otherwise, the last words being made the subjects 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 father s (estate, and health, and comfort) and chaseth or driveth away his mother. These are the effects of his wickedness.
