Exegesis
The Hiphil imperfect yaḵ·lîm {יַכְלִים | yaḵ·lîm} ‘brings disgrace’ serves as the result clause, with ʾā·vîw {אָבִיו | ʾā·vîw} ‘his father’ marking the one dishonored. This parallel structure contrasts faithful observance of instruction with harmful association, reinforcing the link between personal conduct and family reputation.
In context — Proverbs 28:7
A son who keeps the law is understanding, but a companion of gluttons brings shame to his father .
