Genesis 49:2

Treasury of Scripture Knowledge

Gather yourselves together, and hear, ye sons of Jacob; and hearken unto Israel your father.

Come, ye children! hearken unto me, The reverence of Yahweh, will I teach you.

Hear, my son, the correction of thy father, and do not reject the instruction of thy mother;

Hear, ye sons, the correction of a father, and attend, that ye may know understanding.

My son, to my wisdom, attend, and, to mine understanding, incline thou thine ear:

Observe thou, my son, the commandment of thy father, and do not decline from the instruction of thy mother:

My son, keep my sayings, and, my commandments, treasure by thee;

Now, therefore, ye sons, hearken to me, for how happy are they who, to my ways, pay regard!

Hearken to thy father here, who begat thee, and despise not, when she is old, thy mother.
