8. Listen, my son, to your father's instruction and do not forsake your mother's teaching.
9. They will be a garland to grace your head and a chain to adorn your neck.
11. My son, do not despise the LORD's discipline and do not resent his rebuke,
12. because the LORD disciplines those he loves, as a father the son he delights in.
1. A wise son heeds his father's instruction, but a mocker does not listen to rebuke.
24. He who spares the rod hates his son, but he who loves him is careful to discipline him.
20. If a man curses his father or mother, his lamp will be snuffed out in pitch darkness.
6. Train a child in the way he should go, and when he is old he will not turn from it.
5. "See, I will send you the prophet Elijah before that great and dreadful day of the LORD comes.
6. He will turn the hearts of the fathers to their children, and the hearts of the children to their fathers; or else I will come and strike the land with a curse."
9. "So I say to you: Ask and it will be given to you; seek and you will find; knock and the door will be opened to you.
10. For everyone who asks receives; he who seeks finds; and to him who knocks, the door will be opened.
11. "Which of you fathers, if your son asks for a fish, will give him a snake instead?
12. Or if he asks for an egg, will give him a scorpion?
13. If you then, though you are evil, know how to give good gifts to your children, how much more will your Father in heaven give the Holy Spirit to those who ask him!"
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 go well with you and that you may enjoy long life on the earth."
4. Fathers, do not exasperate your children; instead, bring them up in the training and instruction of the Lord.
