My son, hear the instruction of thy father, and forsake not the law of thy mother:

For whom the Lord loveth he correcteth; even as a father the son in whom he delighteth.

Hear, ye children, the instruction of a father, and attend to know understanding.

For I was my father's son, tender and only beloved in the sight of my mother.

My son, keep thy father's commandment, and forsake not the law of thy mother:

The proverbs of Solomon. A wise son maketh a glad father: but a foolish son is the heaviness of his mother.

A wise son heareth his father's instruction: but a scorner heareth not rebuke.

A fool despiseth his father's instruction: but he that regardeth reproof is prudent.

A wise son maketh a glad father: but a foolish man despiseth his mother.

Children's children are the crown of old men; and the glory of children are their fathers.

He that begetteth a fool doeth it to his sorrow: and the father of a fool hath no joy.

A foolish son is a grief to his father, and bitterness to her that bare him.

A foolish son is the calamity of his father: and the contentions of a wife are a continual dropping.

House and riches are the inheritance of fathers: and a prudent wife is from the Lord.

He that wasteth his father, and chaseth away his mother, is a son that causeth shame, and bringeth reproach.

Whoso curseth his father or his mother, his lamp shall be put out in obscure darkness.

Remove not the ancient landmark, which thy fathers have set.

Remove not the old landmark; and enter not into the fields of the fatherless:

Hearken unto thy father that begat thee, and despise not thy mother when she is old.

The father of the righteous shall greatly rejoice: and he that begetteth a wise child shall have joy of him.

Thy father and thy mother shall be glad, and she that bare thee shall rejoice.

Thine own friend, and thy father's friend, forsake not; neither go into thy brother's house in the day of thy calamity: for better is a neighbour that is near than a brother far off.

Whoso keepeth the law is a wise son: but he that is a companion of riotous men shameth his father.

Whoso robbeth his father or his mother, and saith, It is no transgression; the same is the companion of a destroyer.

Whoso loveth wisdom rejoiceth his father: but he that keepeth company with harlots spendeth his substance.

There is a generation that curseth their father, and doth not bless their mother.

The eye that mocketh at his father, and despiseth to obey his mother, the ravens of the valley shall pick it out, and the young eagles shall eat it.
