We have obeyed the voice of Jonadab the son of Rechab, our father, in all that he commanded us, to drink no wine all our days, ourselves, our wives, our sons, or our daughters,
Children, obey your parents in everything, for this pleases the Lord.
My son, keep your father's commandment, and forsake not your mother's teaching.
Hear, my son, and accept my words, that the years of your life may be many.
Hear, O sons, a father's instruction, and be attentive, that you may gain insight, for I give you good precepts; do not forsake my teaching.
Hear, my son, your father's instruction, and forsake not your mother's teaching, for they are a graceful garland for your head and pendants for your neck.
A wise son hears his father's instruction, but a scoffer does not listen to rebuke.
