And, ye fathers, provoke not your children to wrath: but nurture them in the chastening and admonition of the Lord.

These things have I spoken unto you, that in me ye may have peace. In the world ye have tribulation: but be of good cheer; I have overcome the world.

Lo, children are a heritage of Jehovah; And the fruit of the womb is his reward. As arrows in the hand of a mighty man, So are the children of youth. Happy is the man that hath his quiver full of them: They shall not be put to shame, When they speak with their enemies in the gate.

Train up a child in the way he should go, And even when he is old he will not depart from it.

Fathers, provoke not your children, that they be not discouraged.

Withhold not correction from the child; For if thou beat him with the rod, he will not die. Thou shalt beat him with the rod, And shalt deliver his soul from Sheol.

My son, despise not the chastening of Jehovah; Neither be weary of his reproof: For whom Jehovah loveth he reproveth; Even as a father the son in whom he delighteth.

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