'Father' in the Bible

for before the boy knows how to cry out ‘My father’ or ‘My mother,’ the wealth of Damascus and the spoil of Samaria will be carried away before the king of Assyria.”

For a child will be born to us, a son will be given to us;And the government will rest on His shoulders;And His name will be called Wonderful Counselor, Mighty God,Eternal Father, Prince of Peace.

And I will clothe him with your tunicAnd tie your sash securely about him.I will entrust him with your authority,And he will become a father to the inhabitants of Jerusalem and to the house of Judah.

“Go and say to Hezekiah, ‘Thus says the Lord, the God of your father David, “I have heard your prayer, I have seen your tears; behold, I will add fifteen years to your life.

“It is the living who give thanks to You, as I do today;A father tells his sons about Your faithfulness.

“Woe to him who says to a father, ‘What are you begetting?’Or to a woman, ‘To what are you giving birth?’”

“Look to Abraham your fatherAnd to Sarah who gave birth to you in pain;When he was but one I called him,Then I blessed him and multiplied him.”

Then you will take delight in the Lord,And I will make you ride on the heights of the earth;And I will feed you with the heritage of Jacob your father,For the mouth of the Lord has spoken.”

For You are our Father, though Abraham does not know usAnd Israel does not recognize us.You, O Lord, are our Father,Our Redeemer from of old is Your name.

But now, O Lord, You are our Father,We are the clay, and You our potter;And all of us are the work of Your hand.
