Train up a child in the way he should go,
Even when he is old he will not depart from it.

Fathers, do not provoke your children to anger, but bring them up in the discipline and instruction of the Lord.

Assemble the people, the men and the women and children and the alien who is in your town, so that they may hear and learn and fear the Lord your God, and be careful to observe all the words of this law. Their children, who have not known, will hear and learn to fear the Lord your God, as long as you live on the land which you are about to cross the Jordan to possess.”

There was not a word of all that Moses had commanded which Joshua did not read before all the assembly of Israel with the women and the little ones and the strangers who were living among them.

Jehoash did right in the sight of the Lord all his days in which Jehoiada the priest instructed him.

Come, you children, listen to me;
I will teach you the fear of the Lord.

For He established a testimony in Jacob
And appointed a law in Israel,
Which He commanded our fathers
That they should teach them to their children,

My son, do not forget my teaching,
But let your heart keep my commandments;

It is for discipline that you endure; God deals with you as with sons; for what son is there whom his father does not discipline?

Do not hold back discipline from the child,
Although you strike him with the rod, he will not die.

For I have chosen him, so that he may command his children and his household after him to keep the way of the Lord by doing righteousness and justice, so that the Lord may bring upon Abraham what He has spoken about him.”

You shall teach them diligently to your sons and shall talk of them when you sit in your house and when you walk by the way and when you lie down and when you rise up.

I have no greater joy than this, to hear of my children walking in the truth.
