⁸ My son, hear the instruction of thy father, and forsake not the law of thy mother:

⁹ For they shall be an ornament of grace unto thy head, and chains about thy neck.

¹⁰ My son, if sinners entice thee, consent thou not.

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

²⁶ He that wasteth his father, and chaseth away his mother, is a son that causeth shame, and bringeth reproach.

²⁴ The father of the righteous shall greatly rejoice: and he that begetteth a wise child shall have joy of him.

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

²² Hearken unto thy father that begat thee, and despise not thy mother when she is old.

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

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

² Honour 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 bring them up in the nurture and admonition of the Lord.

²⁰ Whoso curseth his father or his mother, his lamp shall be put out in obscure darkness.

¹⁵ The rod and reproof give wisdom: but a child left to himself bringeth his mother to shame.

¹¹ If a son shall ask bread of any of you that is a father, will he give him a stone? or if he ask a fish, will he for a fish give him a serpent?

¹² Or if he shall ask an egg, will he offer him a scorpion?

¹³ If ye then, being evil, know how to give good gifts unto your children: how much more shall your heavenly Father give the Holy Spirit to them that ask him?

¹⁴ And he was casting out a devil, and it was dumb. And it came to pass, when the devil was gone out, the dumb spake; and the people wondered.

⁸ But if any provide not for his own, and specially for those of his own house, he hath denied the faith, and is worse than an infidel.

²¹ Fathers, provoke not your children to anger, lest they be discouraged.

³ Lo, children are an heritage of the LORD: and the fruit of the womb is his reward.

⁴ As arrows are in the hand of a mighty man; so are children of the youth.

⁵ Happy is the man that hath his quiver full of them: they shall not be ashamed, but they shall speak with the enemies in the gate.

²⁴ He that spareth his rod hateth his son: but he that loveth him chasteneth him betimes.

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

⁷ If ye endure chastening, God dealeth with you as with sons; for what son is he whom the father chasteneth not?

⁴ But if any widow have children or nephews, let them learn first to shew piety at home, and to requite their parents: for that is good and acceptable before God.

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