They won’t be disappointed when they speak with their enemies in the gate.

24 One who spares the rod hates his son,

but one who loves him is careful to discipline him.

13 Watch! Stand firm in the faith! Be courageous! Be strong!

15 If it seems evil to you to serve the LORD, choose today whom you will serve; whether the gods which your fathers served that were beyond the River, or the gods of the Amorites, in whose land you dwell; but as for me and my house, we will serve the LORD."

24 The father of the righteous has great joy.

Whoever fathers a wise child delights in him.

7 A righteous man walks in integrity.

Blessed are his children after him.

12 "Honor your father and your mother, that your days may be long in the land which the LORD your God gives you.

26 In the fear of the LORD is a secure fortress,

and he will be a refuge for his children.

6 Train up a child in the way he should go,

and when he is old he will not depart from it.
