13:8 You are to tell your son 10 on that day, 11 ‘It is 12 because of what 13 the Lord did for me when I came out of Egypt.’ 13:9 14 It 15 will be a sign 16 for you on your hand and a memorial 17 on your forehead, 18 so that the law of the Lord may be 19 in your mouth, 20 for 21 with a mighty hand the Lord brought you out of Egypt.
13:14 22 In the future, 23 when your son asks you 24 ‘What is this?’ 25 you are to tell him, ‘With a mighty hand 26 the Lord brought us out from Egypt, from the land of slavery. 27 13:15 When Pharaoh stubbornly refused 28 to release us, the Lord killed all the firstborn in the land of Egypt, from the firstborn of people to the firstborn of animals. 29 That is why I am sacrificing 30 to the Lord the first male offspring of every womb, but all my firstborn sons I redeem.’ 13:16 It will be for a sign on your hand and for frontlets 31 on your forehead, for with a mighty hand the Lord brought us out of Egypt.” 32
34:11 Come children! Listen to me!
I will teach you what it means to fear the Lord. 38
34:12 Do you want to really live? 39
Would you love to live a long, happy life? 40
34:13 Then make sure you don’t speak evil words 41
or use deceptive speech! 42
34:14 Turn away from evil and do what is right! 43
Strive for peace and promote it! 44
34:15 The Lord pays attention to the godly
and hears their cry for help. 45
34:16 But the Lord opposes evildoers
and wipes out all memory of them from the earth. 46
71:18 Even when I am old and gray, 47
O God, do not abandon me,
until I tell the next generation about your strength,
and those coming after me about your power. 48
78:3 What we have heard and learned 49 –
that which our ancestors 50 have told us –
78:4 we will not hide from their 51 descendants.
We will tell the next generation
about the Lord’s praiseworthy acts, 52
about his strength and the amazing things he has done.
78:5 He established a rule 53 in Jacob;
he set up a law in Israel.
He commanded our ancestors
to make his deeds known to their descendants, 54
78:6 so that the next generation, children yet to be born,
might know about them.
They will grow up and tell their descendants about them. 55
78:7 Then they will place their confidence in God.
They will not forget the works of God,
and they will obey 56 his commands.
78:8 Then they will not be like their ancestors,
who were a stubborn and rebellious generation,
a generation that was not committed
and faithful to God. 57
1:8 Listen, 58 my child, 59 to the instruction 60 from 61 your father,
and do not forsake the teaching 62 from 63 your mother.
4:1 Listen, children, 65 to a father’s instruction, 66
and pay attention so that 67 you may gain 68 discernment.
4:2 Because I give 69 you good instruction, 70
do not forsake my teaching.
4:3 When I was a son to my father, 71
a tender only child 72 before my mother,
4:4 he taught me, and he said to me:
“Let your heart lay hold of my words;
keep my commands so that 73 you will live.
4:5 Acquire wisdom, acquire understanding;
do not forget and do not turn aside from the words I speak. 74
4:6 Do not forsake wisdom, 75 and she will protect you;
love her, and she will guard you.
4:7 Wisdom is supreme 76 – so 77 acquire wisdom,
and whatever you acquire, 78 acquire understanding! 79
4:8 Esteem her highly 80 and she will exalt you;
she will honor you if you embrace her.
4:9 She will place a fair 81 garland on your head;
she will bestow 82 a beautiful crown 83 on you.”
4:10 Listen, my child, 84 and accept my words,
so that 85 the years of your life will be many. 86
4:11 I will guide you 87 in the way of wisdom
and I will lead you in upright paths. 88
4:12 When you walk, your steps 89 will not be hampered, 90
and when you run, 91 you will not stumble.
4:13 Hold on to instruction, 92 do not let it go;
protect it, 93 because it is your life.
23:26 Give me your heart, my son, 94
and let your eyes observe my ways;
38:19 The living person, the living person, he gives you thanks,
as I do today.
A father tells his sons about your faithfulness.
6:4 Fathers, 95 do not provoke your children to anger, 96 but raise them up in the discipline and instruction of the Lord.
