⁵ Why should you be beaten more, That you revolt more and more? The whole head is sick, And the whole heart faint.

³ O Yahweh, don't your eyes look on truth? you have stricken them, but they were not grieved; you have consumed them, but they have refused to receive correction: they have made their faces harder than a rock; they have refused to return.

¹⁸ I have surely heard Ephraim bemoaning himself [thus], You have chastised me, and I was chastised, as a calf unaccustomed [to the yoke]: turn you me, and I shall be turned; for you are Yahweh my God.

⁷ In you have they set light by father and mother; in the midst of you have they dealt by oppression with the foreigner; in you have they wronged the fatherless and the widow.

¹¹ "I have overthrown some of you, As when God overthrew Sodom and Gomorrah, And you were like a burning stick plucked out of the fire; Yet you haven't returned to me," says Yahweh.

¹² "Therefore thus will I do to you, Israel; Because I will do this to you, Prepare to meet your God, Israel.

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

² "Honor your father and mother," which is the first commandment with a promise:

³ "that it may be well with you, and you may live long on the earth."

⁹ Furthermore, we had the fathers of our flesh to chasten us, and we paid them respect. Shall we not much rather be in subjection to the Father of spirits, and live?

¹⁰ For they indeed, for a few days, punished us as seemed good to them; but he for our profit, that we may be partakers of his holiness.

¹¹ All chastening seems for the present to be not joyous but grievous; yet afterward it yields the peaceful fruit of righteousness to those who have been exercised thereby.

¹⁷ Correct your son, and he will give you peace; Yes, he will bring delight to your soul.

²⁴ Whoever robs his father or his mother, and says, "It's not wrong." He is a partner with a destroyer.

¹⁷ "Anyone who curses his father or his mother shall surely be put to death.

¹⁶ Cursed be he who sets light by his father or his mother. All the people shall say, Amen.

¹⁴ I will be his father, and he shall be my son: if he commit iniquity, I will chasten him with the rod of men, and with the stripes of the children of men;

⁸ My son, listen to your father's instruction, And don't forsake your mother's teaching:

²⁴ One who spares the rod hates his son, But one who loves him is careful to discipline him.

⁵ A fool despises his father's correction, But he who heeds reproof shows prudence.

¹⁸ Discipline your son, for there is hope; Don't be a willing party to his death.

²⁰ Whoever curses his father or his mother, His lamp shall be put out in blackness of darkness.

¹⁵ Folly is bound up in the heart of a child: The rod of discipline drives it far from him.

¹³ Don't withhold correction from a child. If you punish him with the rod, he will not die.

¹⁴ Punish him with the rod, And save his soul from Sheol.

¹⁵ "Anyone who attacks his father or his mother shall be surely put to death.
