Thus we have obeyed the voice of Jonadab the son of Rekab, our father, in all that he has charged us, to drink no wine all our days, we, our wives, our sons, nor our daughters,
A wise son heeds his father’s instruction, but a scoffer does not listen to rebuke.
Hear, my son, and receive my sayings, and the years of your life will be many.
My son, keep your father’s commandment, and do not forsake the teaching of your mother.
Children, obey your parents in the Lord, for this is right.
Children, obey your parents in all things, for this is well pleasing to the Lord.
