You fathers, don’t provoke your children to wrath, but nurture them in the discipline and instruction of the Lord.

Fathers, don’t make your children bitter. If you do, they will lose hope.

Train your children, because then there is hope. Don’t do anything to bring about their deaths.

If a child is corrected, they become wise. But a child who is not corrected brings shame to their mother.

Start children off on the right path. And even when they are old, they will not turn away from it.

Make sure your children learn them. Talk about them when you are at home. Talk about them when you walk along the road. Speak about them when you go to bed. And speak about them when you get up.

You have known the Holy Scriptures ever since you were a little child. They are able to teach you how to be saved by believing in Christ Jesus.

If you correct your children, they will give you peace. They will bring you the delights you desire.

I have chosen him. He must direct his children to live in the way that pleases me. And he must direct the members of his family after him to do the same. So he must guide all of them in doing what is right and fair. Then I, the Lord, will do for Abraham what I have promised him.”

Don’t hold back correction from a child. If you correct them, they won’t die.So correct them. Then you will save them from death.

Children are going to do foolish things. But correcting them will drive that foolishness far away.

Don’t be careless. Instead, be very careful. Don’t forget the things your eyes have seen. As long as you live, don’t let them slip from your mind. Teach them to your children and their children after them.

My sons, listen to a father’s teaching. Pay attention and gain understanding.I give you good advice. So don’t turn away from what I teach you.I, too, was once a young boy in my father’s house. And my mother loved me deeply.Then my father taught me. He said to me,“ Take hold of my words with all your heart. Keep my commands, and you will live.

I remember your honest and true faith. It was alive first in your grandmother Lois and in your mother Eunice. And I am certain that it is now alive in you also.

We won’t hide them from our children. We will tell them to those who live after us. We will tell them what the Lord has done that is worthy of praise. We will talk about his power and the wonderful things he has done.He gave laws to the people of Jacob. He gave Israel their law. He commanded our people who lived before us to teach his laws to their children.Then those born later would know his laws. Even their children yet to come would know them. And they in turn would tell their children.Then they would put their trust in God. They would not forget what he had done. They would obey his commands.

Put up with hard times. God uses them to train you. He is treating you as his children. What children are not trained by their parents?God trains all his children. But what if he doesn’t train you? Then you are not really his children. You are not God’s true sons and daughters at all.Besides, we have all had human fathers who trained us. We respected them for it. How much more should we be trained by the Father of spirits and live!Our parents trained us for a little while. They did what they thought was best. But God trains us for our good. He does this so we may share in his holiness.

Teach them to your children. Talk about them when you are at home. Talk about them when you walk along the road. Speak about them when you go to bed. And speak about them when you get up.Write them on the doorframes of your houses. Also write them on your gates.Then you and your children will live for a long time in the land. The Lord promised to give the land to Abraham, Isaac and Jacob. Your family line will continue as long as the heavens remain above the earth.

God, ever since I was young you have taught me. To this very day I tell about your wonderful acts.God, don’t leave me even when I’m old and have gray hair. Let me live to tell my children about your power. Let me tell all of them about your mighty acts.

Later on, your child might ask you,“ What is the meaning of the terms, rules and laws the Lord our God has commanded you to obey?”If they do ask you, tell them,“ We were Pharaoh’s slaves in Egypt. But the Lord used his mighty hand to bring us out of Egypt.With our own eyes we saw the Lord send amazing signs. They were great and terrible. He sent them on Egypt and Pharaoh and everyone in his house.But the Lord brought us out of Egypt. He planned to bring us into the land of Canaan and give it to us. It’s the land he promised to our people of long ago.The Lord our God commanded us to obey all his rules. He commanded us to honor him. If we do, we will always succeed and be kept alive. That’s what is happening today.

“ My son Solomon, always remember the God of your father. Serve him with all your heart. Do it with a mind that wants to obey him. The Lord looks deep down inside every heart. He understands every desire and every thought. If you look to him, you will find him. But if you desert him, he will turn his back on you forever.Think about it. The Lord has chosen you to build a house as a holy place where he can live. So be strong. Get to work.”

It is those who are alive who praise you. And that’s what I’m doing today. Parents tell their children about how faithful you are.

But suppose you don’t want to serve him. Then choose for yourselves right now whom you will serve. You can choose the gods your people served east of the Euphrates River. Or you can serve the gods of the Amorites. After all, you are living in their land. But as for me and my family, we will serve the Lord.”

David also said to his son Solomon,“ Be strong and brave. Get to work. Don’t be afraid. Don’t lose hope. The Lord God is my God. He is with you. He won’t fail you. He won’t desert you until all the work for serving in the Lord’ s temple is finished.

Your children will ask you,‘ What does this holy day mean to you?’Tell them,‘ It’s the Passover sacrifice to honor the Lord. He passed over the houses of the Israelites in Egypt. He spared our homes when he struck down the Egyptians.’ ” Then the Israelites bowed down and worshiped.

The stones will serve as a reminder to you. In days to come, your children will ask you,‘ What do these stones mean?’Tell them that the Lord cut off the flow of water in the Jordan River. Tell them its water stopped flowing when the ark of the covenant of the Lord went across. The stones will always remind the Israelites of what happened there.”

He will build a house for my Name. He will be my son. And I will be his father. I will make his kingdom secure over Israel. It will last forever.’“ My son, may the Lord be with you. May you have success. May you build the house of the Lord your God, just as he said you would.May the Lord give you good sense. May he give you understanding when he makes you king over Israel. Then you will keep the law of the Lord your God.Be careful to obey the rules and laws the Lord gave Moses for Israel. Then you will have success. Be strong and brave. Don’t be afraid. Don’t lose hope.

“ In days to come, your child will ask you,‘ What does this mean?’ Say to them,‘ The Lord used his mighty hand to bring us out of Egypt. That’s the land where we were slaves.Pharaoh was stubborn. He refused to let us go. So the Lord killed every oldest son in Egypt. He also killed all those born first among the people and animals. That’s why I sacrifice to the Lord every male animal born first. And that’s why I buy back each of my oldest sons for the Lord.’

Help my son Solomon serve you with all his heart. Then he will keep your commands and rules. He will do what you require. He’ll do everything to build the grand and wonderful temple I’ve provided for.”

Then he spoke to the Israelites. He said,“ In days to come, your children after you will ask their parents,‘ What do these stones mean?’Their parents must tell them,‘ Israel went across the Jordan River on dry ground.’The Lord your God dried up the Jordan for you until you had gone across it. He did to the Jordan River the same thing he had done to the Red Sea. He dried up the Red Sea ahead of us until we had gone across it.He did it so that all the nations on earth would know that he is powerful. He did it so that you would always have respect for the Lord your God.”

Rachel and Leah replied,“ Do we still have any share of our father’s property?Doesn’t our father think of us as outsiders? First he sold us. Now he has used up what he was paid for us.

Saul became very angry with Jonathan. He said to him,“ You are an evil son. You have refused to obey me. I know that you are on the side of Jesse’s son. You should be ashamed of that. And your mother should be ashamed of having a son like you.You will never be king as long as Jesse’s son lives on this earth. And you will never have a kingdom either. So send someone to bring the son of Jesse to me. He must die!”“ Why do you want to put him to death?” Jonathan asked his father.“ What has he done?”But Saul threw his spear at Jonathan to kill him. Then Jonathan knew that his father wanted to kill David.So Jonathan got up from the table. He was very angry. On that second day of the feast, he refused to eat. He was very sad that his father was treating David so badly.
