These are the words of King Lemuel, the message his mother taught him:
My child, listen to your father’s teaching and do not forget your mother’s advice.
These are the words of Agur son of Jakeh. This is his message to Ithiel and Ucal:
Just as stirring milk makes butter, and twisting noses makes them bleed, so stirring up anger causes trouble.”
“My son, I gave birth to you. You are the son I prayed for.
My son, keep your father’s commands, and don’t forget your mother’s teaching.
I remember your true faith. That faith first lived in your grandmother Lois and in your mother Eunice, and I know you now have that same faith.
Since you were a child you have known the Holy Scriptures which are able to make you wise. And that wisdom leads to salvation through faith in Christ Jesus.
