⁸ We have obeyed the voice of Jonadab the son of Rechab, our father, in all that he charged us, to drink no wine all our days, we, our wives, our sons, or our daughters;

²⁰ Children, obey your parents in all things, for this pleases the Lord.

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

⁹ For they will be a garland to grace your head, And chains around your neck.

¹ Listen, sons, to a father's instruction. Pay attention and know understanding;

² For I give you sound learning. Don't forsake my law.

¹⁰ Listen, my son, and receive my sayings. The years of your life will be many.

²⁰ My son, keep your father's commandment, And don't forsake your mother's teaching.

¹ A wise son listens to his father's instruction, But a scoffer doesn't listen to rebuke.
