1 [A Song of degrees.] Blessed is every one that feareth Jehovah, that walketh in his ways.
2 For thou shalt eat the labour of thy hands; happy shalt thou be, and it shall be well with thee.
10 Who can find a woman of worth? for her price is far above rubies.
24 He that spareth his rod hateth his son; but he that loveth him chasteneth him betimes.
12 Honour thy father and thy mother, that thy days may be prolonged in the land that Jehovah thy God giveth thee.
8 Hear, my son, the instruction of thy father, and forsake not the teaching of thy mother;
9 for they shall be a garland of grace unto thy head, and chains about thy neck.
20 A wise son maketh a glad father; but a foolish man despiseth his mother.
9 Only take heed to thyself, and keep thy soul diligently, lest thou forget the things that thine eyes have seen (and lest they depart from thy heart all the days of thy life; but thou shalt make them known to thy sons and to thy sons' sons),
4 Love has long patience, is kind; love is not emulous {of others}; love is not insolent and rash, is not puffed up,
5 does not behave in an unseemly manner, does not seek what is its own, is not quickly provoked, does not impute evil,
6 does not rejoice at iniquity but rejoices with the truth,
7 bears all things, believes all things, hopes all things, endures all things.
6 Train up the child according to the tenor of his way, and when he is old he will not depart from it.
1 Children, obey your parents in {the} Lord, for this is just.
2 Honour thy father and thy mother, which is the first commandment with a promise,
3 that it may be well with thee, and that thou mayest be long-lived on the earth.
25 Strength and dignity are her clothing, and she laugheth {at} the coming day.
26 She openeth her mouth with wisdom; and upon her tongue is the law of kindness.
27 She surveyeth the ways of her household, and eateth not the bread of idleness.
28 Her children rise up and call her blessed; her husband {also}, and he praiseth her:
29 Many daughters have done worthily, but thou excellest them all.
30 Gracefulness is deceitful and beauty is vain; a woman {that} feareth Jehovah, she shall be praised.
3 Lo, children are an inheritance from Jehovah, {and} the fruit of the womb a reward.
13 As one whom his mother comforteth, so will I comfort you; and ye shall be comforted in Jerusalem.
