'Father' in the Bible
My son, hear the instruction of your father,And do not reject the teaching of your mother.
For those whom the Lord loves He corrects,Even as a father corrects the son in whom he delights.
Hear, O children, the instruction of a father,And pay attention [and be willing to learn] so that you may gain understanding and intelligent discernment.
When I was a son with my father (David),Tender and the only son in the sight of my mother (Bathsheba),
The proverbs of Solomon:A wise son makes a father glad,But a foolish [stubborn] son [who refuses to learn] is a grief to his mother.
A wise son makes a father glad,But a foolish man despises his mother.
He who becomes the parent of a fool [who is spiritually blind] does so to his sorrow,And the father of a fool [who is spiritually blind] has no joy.
A foolish son is a grief and anguish to his fatherAnd bitterness to her who gave birth to him.
A foolish (ungodly) son is destruction to his father,And the contentions of a [quarrelsome] wife are like a constant dripping [of water].
He who assaults his father and chases away his motherIs a son who brings shame and disgrace.
Whoever curses his father or his mother,His lamp [of life] will be extinguished in time of darkness.
Listen to your father, who sired you,And do not despise your mother when she is old.
The father of the righteous will greatly rejoice,And he who sires a wise child will have joy in him.
Let your father and your mother be glad,And let her who gave birth to you rejoice [in your wise and godly choices].
He who keeps the law [of God and man] is a wise and discerning son,But he who is a companion of gluttons humiliates his father [and himself].
He who robs his father or his motherAnd says, “This is no sin,”Is [not only a thief but also] the companion of a man who destroys.
A man who loves [skillful and godly] wisdom makes his father joyful,But he who associates with prostitutes wastes his wealth.
The eye that mocks a fatherAnd scorns a mother,The ravens of the valley will pick it out,And the young vultures will devour it.
