20 So hee arose and came to his father, and when hee was yet a great way off, his father sawe him, and had compassion, and ranne and fell on his necke, and kissed him. 21 And the sonne sayde vnto him, Father, I haue sinned against heauen, and before thee, and am no more worthie to be called thy sonne. 22 Then the father said to his seruaunts, Bring foorth the best robe, and put it on him, and put a ring on his hand, and shoes on his feete, 23 And bring the fat calfe, and kill him, and let vs eate, and be merie:

3 Beholde, children are the inheritance of the Lord, and the fruite of the wombe his rewarde. 4 As are the arrowes in the hand of ye strong man: so are the children of youth. 5 Blessed is the man, that hath his quiuer full of them: for they shall not be ashamed, when they speake with their enemies in the gate.

24 He that spareth his rodde, hateth his sonne: but he that loueth him, chasteneth him betime.

13 Watch ye: stand fast in the faith: quite you like men, and be strong.

15 And if it seeme euill vnto you to serue the Lord, choose you this day whome yee will serue, whether the gods which your fathers serued (that were beyond the flood) or the gods of the Amorites, in whose land ye dwel: but I and mine house will serue the Lord.

24 The father of the righteous shall greatly reioyce, and hee that begetteth a wise childe, shall haue ioy of him.

7 He that walketh in his integritie, is iust: and blessed shall his children be after him.

12 Honour thy father and thy mother, that thy dayes may be prolonged vpon the land, which the Lord thy God giueth thee.

26 In the feare of the Lord is an assured strength, and his children shall haue hope.

6 Teache a childe in the trade of his way, and when he is olde, he shall not depart from it.
