Most Relevant Verses

Psalm 44:1

It has come to our ears, O God, our fathers have given us the story, of the works which you did in their days, in the old times,

Psalm 78:3

Which have come to our hearing and our knowledge, as they were given to us by our fathers.

Proverbs 6:20-35

My son, keep the rule of your father, and have in memory the teaching of your mother: Keep them ever folded in your heart, and have them hanging round your neck. In your walking, it will be your guide; when you are sleeping, it will keep watch over you; when you are awake, it will have talk with you.read more.
For the rule is a light, and the teaching a shining light; and the guiding words of training are the way of life. They will keep you from the evil woman, from the smooth tongue of the strange woman. Let not your heart's desire go after her fair body; let not her eyes take you prisoner. For a loose woman is looking for a cake of bread, but another man's wife goes after one's very life. May a man take fire to his breast without burning his clothing? Or may one go on lighted coals, and his feet not be burned? So it is with him who goes in to his neighbour's wife; he who has anything to do with her will not go free from punishment. Men do not have a low opinion of a thief who takes food when he is in need of it: But if he is taken in the act he will have to give back seven times as much, giving up all his property which is in his house. He who takes another man's wife is without all sense: he who does it is the cause of destruction to his soul. Wounds will be his and loss of honour, and his shame may not be washed away. For bitter is the wrath of an angry husband; in the day of punishment he will have no mercy. He will not take any payment; and he will not make peace with you though your money offerings are increased.
