¹⁷ “They shall be mine, says the Lord of hosts, ^(A)in the day when I make up ^(B)my treasured possession, and I will spare them as a man spares his son who serves him.

²⁹ Take my yoke upon you, and ^(A)learn from me, for I am ^(B)gentle and lowly in heart, and ^(C)you will find rest for your souls. ³⁰ For ^(D)my yoke is easy, and my burden is light.”

²¹ Fathers, do not provoke your children, lest they become discouraged.

⁷ Likewise, ^(A)husbands, live with your wives in an understanding way, showing honor to the woman as the weaker ^(B)vessel, since they are heirs with you^[a] of the grace of life, so that your prayers may not be hindered.
