20 And he arose, and came to his father. But when he was yet a great way off, his father saw him, and had compassion, and ran, and fell on his neck, and kissed him.
21 And the son said to him, Father, I have sinned against heaven, and in your sight, and am no more worthy to be called your son.
22 But the father said to his servants, Bring forth the best robe, and put it on him; and put a ring on his hand, and shoes on his feet:
23 And bring here the fatted calf, and kill it; and let us eat, and be merry:
24 He that spares his rod hates his son: but he that loves him chastens him betimes.
3 See, children are an heritage of the LORD: and the fruit of the womb is his reward.
4 As arrows are in the hand of a mighty man; so are children of the youth.
5 Happy is the man that has his quiver full of them: they shall not be ashamed, but they shall speak with the enemies in the gate.
13 Watch you, stand fast in the faith, quit you like men, be strong.
26 In the fear of the LORD is strong confidence: and his children shall have a place of refuge.
24 The father of the righteous shall greatly rejoice: and he that begets a wise child shall have joy of him.
7 The just man walks in his integrity: his children are blessed after him.
15 And if it seem evil to you to serve the LORD, choose you this day whom you will serve; whether the gods which your fathers served that were on the other side of the flood, or the gods of the Amorites, in whose land you dwell: but as for me and my house, we will serve the LORD.
12 Honor your father and your mother: that your days may be long on the land which the LORD your God gives you.
6 Train up a child in the way he should go: and when he is old, he will not depart from it.
