1 A Song of Ascents. Blessed is everyone who fears Yahweh, That walks in his ways.
2 For you will eat the labor of your hands: Happy you will be, and it will be well with you.
10 A worthy woman who can find? For her price is far above rubies.
12 Honor your father and your mother, that your days may be long in the land which Yahweh your God gives you.
24 He who spares his rod hates his son; But he who loves him chastens him diligently.
8 My son, hear the instruction of your father, And don't forsake the law of your mother:
9 For they will be a chaplet of grace to your head, And chains about your neck.
20 A wise son makes a glad father; But [a] foolish man despises his mother.
9 Only you be careful and keep your soul diligently, or else you will forget the things which your eyes saw, and they will depart from your heart all the days of your life; but make them known to your sons and the sons of your sons;
4 Love suffers long, it is kind. Love does not envy. Love does not vaunt itself, is not puffed up,
5 does not behave itself unseemly, does not seek its own, is not provoked, does not take account of evil;
6 does not rejoice in unrighteousness, but rejoices with the truth;
7 bears all things, believes all things, hopes all things, endures all things.
6 []
1 Children, obey your{} parents in the Lord: for this is right.
2 Honor your father and mother (which is the first commandment with promise),
3 that it may be well with you, and you may live long on the earth.
25 Strength and dignity are her clothing; And she laughs at the time to come.
26 She opens her mouth with wisdom; And the law of kindness is on her tongue.
27 She looks well to the ways of her household, And does not eat the bread of idleness.
28 Her sons rise up, and call her blessed; Her husband [also], and he praises her, [saying]:
29 Many daughters have done worthily, But you excel them all.
30 Grace is deceitful, and beauty is vain; [But] a woman who fears Yahweh, she will be praised.
3 Look, sons are a heritage of Yahweh; [And] the fruit of the womb is [his] reward.
13 As one whom his mother comforts, so I will comfort you{}; and you{} will be comforted in Jerusalem.
