Hear, ye children, the instruction of a father, and attend to know understanding.

And, ye fathers, provoke not your children to wrath: but bring them up in the nurture and admonition of the Lord.

Like as a father pitieth {his} children, {so} the LORD pitieth them that fear him.

For whom the LORD loveth he correcteth; even as a father the son {in whom} he delighteth.

As ye know how we exhorted and comforted and charged every one of you, as a father {doth} his children,

And ye have forgotten the exhortation which speaketh unto you as unto children, My son, despise not thou the chastening of the Lord, nor faint when thou art rebuked of him:

And, ye fathers, provoke not your children to wrath: but bring them up in the nurture and admonition of the Lord.

Husbands, love {your} wives, and be not bitter against them.
