'Father' in the Bible

Listen, my child, to the instruction from your father, and do not forsake the teaching from your mother.

For the Lord disciplines those he loves, just as a father disciplines the son in whom he delights.

When I was a son to my father, a tender only child before my mother,

My child, guard the commands of your father and do not forsake the instruction of your mother.

The Proverbs of Solomon: A wise child makes a father rejoice, but a foolish child is a grief to his mother.

A wise child brings joy to his father, but a foolish person despises his mother.

Whoever brings a fool into the world does so to his grief, and the father of a fool has no joy.

A foolish child is a grief to his father, and bitterness to the mother who bore him.

A foolish child is the ruin of his father, and a contentious wife is like a constant dripping.

The one who robs his father and chases away his mother is a son who brings shame and disgrace.

The one who curses his father and his mother, his lamp will be extinguished in the blackest darkness.

Listen to your father who begot you, and do not despise your mother when she is old.

The father of a righteous person will rejoice greatly; whoever fathers a wise child will have joy in him.

May your father and your mother have joy; may she who bore you rejoice.

The one who robs his father and mother and says, "There is no transgression," is a companion to the one who destroys.

The man who loves wisdom brings joy to his father, but whoever associates with prostitutes wastes his wealth.

The eye that mocks at a father and despises obeying a mother -- the ravens of the valley will peck it out and the young vultures will eat it.
