On Father and Child

Honor your father and your mother,
so that you may live long in the land
the Lord your God is giving you.
{Proverbs 20:12}

Listen, my son, and be wise,
and keep your heart on the right path.
{Proverbs 23:22}

God sets the lonely in families,
he leads forth the prisoners with
singing; but the rebellious live
in a sun-scorched land.
{Psalm 68:6}

May your father and mother be glad;
may she who gave you birth rejoice!
{Proverbs 23:24}
