Current coverage includes Proverbs. More books are being added.
In Scripture, parents and elders are depicted as primary guides in moral formation, passing down wisdom through teaching, example, and correction. Proverbs frequently frames instruction as a life-shaping inheritance that protects against destructive paths and trains discernment. The shared focus is that formative guidance aims at character and long-term good.
8My son, listen to your father`s instruction, And don`t forsake your mother`s teaching:
9For they will be a garland to grace your head, And chains around your neck.
1The proverbs of Solomon. A wise son makes a glad father; But a foolish son brings grief to his mother.
24One who spares the rod hates his son, But one who loves him is careful to discipline him.
5A fool despises his father`s correction, But he who heeds reproof shows prudence.
18Discipline your son, for there is hope; Don`t be a willing party to his death.
6Train up a child in the way he should go, And when he is old he will not depart from it.
13Don`t withhold correction from a child. If you punish him with the rod, he will not die.
14Punish him with the rod, And save his soul from Sheol.
11My son, don`t despise Yahweh`s discipline, Neither be weary of his reproof:
12For whom Yahweh loves, he reproves; Even as a father the son in whom he delights.
1Listen, sons, to a father`s instruction. Pay attention and know understanding;
2For I give you sound learning. Don`t forsake my law.
3For I was a son to my father, Tender and an only child in the sight of my mother.
4He taught me, and said to me: "Let your heart retain my words. Keep my commandments, and live.
20My son, keep your father`s commandment, And don`t forsake your mother`s teaching.
21Bind them continually on your heart. Tie them around your neck.
22When you walk, it will lead you. When you sleep, it will watch over you. When you awake, it will talk with you.
23For the commandment is a lamp, And the law is light. Reproofs of instruction are the way of life,
