My son, keep your father's [God-given] commandment and forsake not the law of [God] your mother [taught you]. [Eph. 6:1-3.]

Children's children are the crown of old men, and the glory of children is their fathers. [Ps. 127:3; 128:3.]

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

Let your fountain [of human life] be blessed [with the rewards of fidelity], and rejoice in the wife of your youth.

Through skillful and godly Wisdom is a house (a life, a home, a family) built, and by understanding it is established [on a sound and good foundation],

He who does violence to his father and chases away his mother is a son who causes shame and brings reproach.

A capable, intelligent, and virtuous woman–who is he who can find her? She is far more precious than jewels and her value is far above rubies or pearls. [Prov. 12:4; 18:22; 19:14.]

I would lead you and bring you into the house of my mother, who would instruct me. I would cause you to drink spiced wine and of the juice of my pomegranates.

As one whom his mother comforts, so will I comfort you; you shall be comforted in Jerusalem.

[And the Lord answered] Can a woman forget her nursing child, that she should not have compassion on the son of her womb? Yes, they may forget, yet I will not forget you.
