1 A Song of the Ascents. O the happiness of every one fearing Jehovah, Who is walking in His ways.
2 The labour of thy hands thou surely eatest, Happy [art] thou, and good [is] to thee.
3 Thy wife [is] as a fruitful vine in the sides of thy house, Thy sons as olive plants around thy table.
4 Lo, surely thus is the man blessed who is fearing Jehovah.
6 and these words which I am commanding thee to-day have been on thine heart,
7 and thou hast repeated them to thy sons, and spoken of them in thy sitting in thine house, and in thy walking in the way, and in thy lying down, and in thy rising up,
28 and God doth give to thee of the dew of heaven, and of the fatness of the earth, and abundance of corn and wine;
29 peoples serve thee, and nations bow themselves to thee, be thou mighty over thy brethren, and the sons of thy mother bow themselves to thee; those who curse thee [are] cursed, and those who bless thee [are] blessed.
28 And God blesseth them, and God saith to them, Be fruitful, and multiply, and fill the earth, and subdue it, and rule over fish of the sea, and over fowl of the heavens, and over every living thing that is creeping upon the earth.
4 and if any widow have children or grandchildren, let them learn first to their own house to show piety, and to give back a recompense to the parents, for this is right and acceptable before God.
21 The woman, when she may bear, hath sorrow, because her hour did come, and when she may bear the child, no more doth she remember the anguish, because of the joy that a man was born to the world.
52 and Jesus was advancing in wisdom, and in stature, and in favour with God and men.
24 Whoso is sparing his rod is hating his son, And whoso is loving him hath hastened him chastisement.
1 The children! obey your parents in the Lord, for this is righteous;
2 honour thy father and mother,
3 which is the first command with a promise, That it may be well with thee, and thou mayest live a long time upon the land.
14 and Jesus having seen, was much displeased, and he said to them, Suffer the children to come unto me, and forbid them not, for of such is the reign of God;
6 Give instruction to a youth about his way, Even when he is old he turneth not from it.
7 if chastening ye endure, as to sons God beareth Himself to you, for who is a son whom a father doth not chasten?
8 and if ye are apart from chastening, of which all have become partakers, then bastards are ye, and not sons.
15 Folly is bound up in the heart of a youth, The rod of chastisement putteth it far from him.
25 Young I have been, I have also become old, And I have not seen the righteous forsaken, And his seed seeking bread.
26 All the day he is gracious and lending, And his seed [is] for a blessing.
1 Hear, ye sons, the instruction of a father, And give attention to know understanding.
4 Blessed [is] the fruit of thy womb, and the fruit of thy ground, and the fruit of thy cattle, increase of thine oxen, and wealth of thy flock.
24 Jehovah bless thee and keep thee;
25 Jehovah cause His face to shine upon thee, and favour thee;
26 Jehovah lift up His countenance upon thee, and appoint for thee -- peace.
3 For I pour waters on a thirsty one, And floods on a dry land, I pour My Spirit on thy seed, And My blessing on thine offspring.
4 And they have sprung up as among grass, As willows by streams of water.
11 if, therefore, ye being evil, have known good gifts to give to your children, how much more shall your Father who [is] in the heavens give good things to those asking him?
1 See ye what love the Father hath given to us, that children of God we may be called; because of this the world doth not know us, because it did not know Him;
6 Sons sons [are] the crown of old men, And the glory of sons [are] their fathers.
5 Before I form thee in the belly, I have known thee; and before thou comest forth from the womb I have separated thee, a prophet to nations I have made thee.
13 For Thou -- Thou hast possessed my reins, Thou dost cover me in my mothers belly.
14 I confess Thee, because that [with] wonders I have been distinguished. Wonderful [are] Thy works, And my soul is knowing [it] well.
15 My substance was not hid from Thee, When I was made in secret, Curiously wrought in the lower part of earth.
16 Mine unformed substance Thine eyes saw, And on Thy book all of them are written, The days they were formed -- And not one among them.
12 Honour thy father and thy mother, so that thy days are prolonged on the ground which Jehovah thy God is giving to thee.
12 Because our sons [are] as plants, Becoming great in their youth, Our daughters as hewn stones, Polished -- the likeness of a palace,
13 As a father hath mercy on sons, Jehovah hath mercy on those fearing Him.
1 Proverbs of Solomon. A wise son causeth a father to rejoice, And a foolish son [is] an affliction to his mother.
39 And your infants, of whom ye have said, For a prey they are, and your sons who have not known to-day good and evil, they go in thither, and to them I give it, and they possess it;
13 Withhold not from a youth chastisement, When thou smitest him with a rod he dieth not.
14 Blessed art thou above all the peoples, there is not in thee a barren man or a barren woman -- nor among your cattle;
2 Mighty in the earth is his seed, The generation of the upright is blessed.
4 We do not hide from their sons, To a later generation recounting praises of Jehovah, And His strength, and His wonders that He hath done.
21 the fathers! vex not your children, lest they be discouraged.
20 the children! obey the parents in all things, for this is well-pleasing to the Lord;
13 And all thy sons are taught of Jehovah, And abundant [is] the peace of thy sons.
1 A Song of the Ascents. O the happiness of every one fearing Jehovah, Who is walking in His ways.
2 The labour of thy hands thou surely eatest, Happy [art] thou, and good [is] to thee.
3 Thy wife [is] as a fruitful vine in the sides of thy house, Thy sons as olive plants around thy table.
15 A rod and reproof give wisdom, And a youth let away is shaming his mother.
3 Lo, an inheritance of Jehovah [are] sons, A reward [is] the fruit of the womb.
4 As arrows in the hand of a mighty one, So [are] the sons of the young men.
5 O the happiness of the man Who hath filled his quiver with them, They are not ashamed, For they speak with enemies in the gate!
38 and they have been to Me for a people, and I am to them for God;
39 and I have given to them one heart, and one way, to fear Me all the days, for good to them, and to their sons after them:
4 And the fathers! provoke not your children, but nourish them in the instruction and admonition of the Lord.
7 The righteous is walking habitually in his integrity, O the happiness of his sons after him!
10 On Thee I have been cast from the womb, From the belly of my mother Thou [art] my God.
