The words of Sovereign Lemu’ĕl, a message which his mother taught him:
My son, heed the discipline of your father, And do not forsake the Torah of your mother;
The words of Aḡur son of Yaqeh, a message. This man declared to Ithi’ĕl, to Ithi’ĕl and Uḵal:
For as milk under pressure brings forth curds, And as a nose under pressure brings forth blood, So wrath under pressure brings forth strife.
What, my chosen? And what, chosen of my womb? And what, chosen of my vows?
My son, watch over your father’s command, And do not forsake the Torah of your mother.
For I recollect the sincere belief which is in you, which dwelt first in your grandmother Lois and your mother Eunike, and I am persuaded is in you too.
and that from a babe you have known the Set-apart Scriptures, which are able to make you wise for deliverance through belief in Messiah יהושע.
