I can't help thinking the first halves of the last two lines (oy, mouthful!), when unscrambled, form the exact same phrase, except 5 has the word "in" and 6 replaces it with the word "to". The huge similarity in letters seems like too great a coincidence for it to make very different phrases, especially when the second halves are also only a word off. I really think it's parallel structure, like, "blah blah blah in [thy/the/her/?] father's name/blah blah blah to [thy/the/her/?] father's shame", or something similar. But, then again, my own disasterous attempts to solve it culminated with my unusable leftover letters hilariously forming the word "idiot", so maybe I should take that as a hint and shut up....
edited and re-edited and re-re-edited because I'm a nitpicker, not to mention far too tired to make any sense.

Doesn't flow and doesn't seem to make sense in context to the rest |

Would the picture be of any help to determine how many words and length? Or was that out and I missed it? If so, I'll edit.

The "to the father's shame" seems too odd. If you could remove the "to" it would make more sense. If you could |

| as far as the absorbs and bares question, i think absorbs works better..."bares both's sin" seems strange grammatically...wouldn't it be "bares both's sins" (plural sins)... |

Yes...actually, it would be. Thanks for pointing that out
Although...maybe not.
