10 Bible Verses about Mothers And Daughters

"'Observe -- everyone who quotes proverbs will quote this proverb about you: "Like mother, like daughter." You are the daughter of your mother, who detested her husband and her sons, and you are the sister of your sisters who detested their husbands and their sons. Your mother was a Hittite and your father an Amorite. Your older sister was Samaria, who lived north of you with her daughters, and your younger sister, who lived south of you, was Sodom with her daughters.

They must be cut off in the sight of the children of their people. He has exposed his sister's nakedness; he will bear his punishment for iniquity.

For I have come to set a man against his father, a daughter against her mother, and a daughter-in-law against her mother-in-law,

For a son thinks his father is a fool, a daughter challenges her mother, and a daughter-in-law her mother-in-law; a man's enemies are his own servants.
