⁸ `And we hearken to the voice of Jonadab son of Rechab, our father, to all that he commanded us, not to drink wine all our days, we, our wives, our sons, and our daughters;

²⁰ the children! obey the parents in all things, for this is well-pleasing to the Lord;

⁸ Hear, my son, the instruction of thy father, And leave not the law of thy mother,

⁹ For a graceful wreath `are' they to thy head, And chains to thy neck.

¹ Hear, ye sons, the instruction of a father, And give attention to know understanding.

² For good learning I have given to you, My law forsake not.

¹⁰ Hear, my son, and receive my sayings, And years of life `are' multiplied to thee.

²⁰ Keep, my son, the command of thy father, And leave not the law of thy mother.

¹ A wise son -- the instruction of a father, And a scorner -- he hath not heard rebuke.
