¹ Blessed is every one that feareth Jehovah, That walketh in his ways.

² For thou shalt eat the labor of thy hands: Happy shalt thou be, and it shall be well with thee.

³ Thy wife shall be as a fruitful vine, In the innermost parts of thy house; Thy children like olive plants, Round about thy table.

⁴ Behold, thus shall the man be blessed That feareth Jehovah.

⁵ Jehovah bless thee out of Zion: And see thou the good of Jerusalem all the days of thy life.

⁴ But if any widow hath children or grandchildren, let them learn first to show piety towards their own family, and to requite their parents: for this is acceptable in the sight of God.

²¹ A woman when she is in travail hath sorrow, because her hour is come: but when she is delivered of the child, she remembereth no more the anguish, for the joy that a man is born into the world.

⁵² And Jesus advanced in wisdom and stature, and in favor with God and men.

²⁴ He that spareth his rod hateth his son; But he that loveth him chasteneth him betimes.

¹ Children, obey your parents in the Lord: for this is right.

² Honor thy father and mother (which is the first commandment with promise),

³ that it may be well with thee, and thou mayest live long on the earth.

⁴ And, ye fathers, provoke not your children to wrath: but nurture them in the chastening and admonition of the Lord.

¹⁴ But when Jesus saw it, he was moved with indignation, and said unto them, Suffer the little children to come unto me; forbid them not: for to such belongeth the kingdom of God.

⁶ Train up a child in the way he should go, And even when he is old he will not depart from it.

⁷ It is for chastening that ye endure; God dealeth with you as with sons; for what son is there whom `his' father chasteneth not?

⁸ But if ye are without chastening, whereof all have been made partakers, then are ye bastards, and not sons.

⁹ Furthermore, we had the fathers of our flesh to chasten us, and we gave them reverence: shall we not much rather be in subjection unto the Father of spirits, and live?

¹⁵ Foolishness is bound up in the heart of a child; `But' the rod of correction shall drive it far from him.

²⁵ I have been young, and now am old; Yet have I not seen the righteous forsaken, Nor his seed begging bread.

²⁶ All the day long he dealeth graciously, and lendeth; And his seed is blessed.

²⁷ Depart from evil, and do good; And dwell for evermore.

¹ Hear, `my' sons, the instruction of a father, And attend to know understanding:

³ Lo, children are a heritage of Jehovah; `And' the fruit of the womb is `his' reward.

⁴ As arrows in the hand of a mighty man, So are the children of youth.

⁵ Happy is the man that hath his quiver full of them: They shall not be put to shame, When they speak with their enemies in the gate. Psalm 128 A Song of Ascents.

³ For I will pour water upon him that is thirsty, and streams upon the dry ground; I will pour my Spirit upon thy seed, and my blessing upon thine offspring:

⁴ and they shall spring up among the grass, as willows by the watercourses.

⁵ One shall say, I am Jehovah's; and another shall call `himself' by the name of Jacob; and another shall subscribe with his hand unto Jehovah, and surname `himself' by the name of Israel.

⁷ A righteous man that walketh in his integrity, Blessed are his children after him.

¹³ And all thy children shall be taught of Jehovah; and great shall be the peace of thy children.

¹¹ If ye then, being evil, know how to give good gifts unto your children, how much more shall your Father who is in heaven give good things to them that ask him?

³⁸ and they shall be my people, and I will be their God:

³⁹ and I will give them one heart and one way, that they may fear me for ever, for the good of them, and of their children after them:

⁴⁰ and I will make an everlasting covenant with them, that I will not turn away from following them, to do them good; and I will put my fear in their hearts, that they may not depart from me.

¹³ Like as a father pitieth his children, So Jehovah pitieth them that fear him.

¹ Behold what manner of love the Father hath bestowed upon us, that we should be called children of God; and `such' we are. For this cause the world knoweth us not, because it knew him not.

⁶ Children's children are the crown of old men; And the glory of children are their fathers.

¹⁵ The rod and reproof give wisdom; But a child left to himself causeth shame to his mother.

⁵ Before I formed thee in the belly I knew thee, and before thou camest forth out of the womb I sanctified thee; I have appointed thee a prophet unto the nations.

¹³ For thou didst form my inward parts: Thou didst cover me in my mother's womb.

¹⁴ I will give thanks unto thee; for I am fearfully and wonderfully made: Wonderful are thy works; And that my soul knoweth right well.

¹⁵ My frame was not hidden from thee, When I was made in secret, `And' curiously wrought in the lowest parts of the earth.

¹⁶ Thine eyes did see mine unformed substance; And in thy book they were all written, `Even' the days that were ordained `for me', When as yet there was none of them.

¹⁷ How precious also are thy thoughts unto me, O God! How great is the sum of them!

¹² When our sons shall be as plants grown up in their youth, And our daughters as corner-stones hewn after the fashion of a palace;

¹ The proverbs of Solomon. A wise son maketh a glad father; But a foolish son is the heaviness of his mother.

¹⁰ I was cast upon thee from the womb; Thou art my God since my mother bare me.

²¹ Fathers, provoke not your children, that they be not discouraged.

⁴ And, ye fathers, provoke not your children to wrath: but nurture them in the chastening and admonition of the Lord.

²⁰ Children, obey your parents in all things, for this is well-pleasing in the Lord.

¹³ Withhold not correction from the child; `For' if thou beat him with the rod, he will not die.

⁴ We will not hide them from their children, Telling to the generation to come the praises of Jehovah, And his strength, and his wondrous works that he hath done.

¹ Blessed is every one that feareth Jehovah, That walketh in his ways.

² For thou shalt eat the labor of thy hands: Happy shalt thou be, and it shall be well with thee.

³ Thy wife shall be as a fruitful vine, In the innermost parts of thy house; Thy children like olive plants, Round about thy table.

⁴ Behold, thus shall the man be blessed That feareth Jehovah.

² His seed shall be mighty upon earth: The generation of the upright shall be blessed.
