Hear, my son, your father’s discipline, and do not cast off your mother’s teaching;
In context
6for understanding a proverb and a parable, the words of the wise and their riddles. 7The fear of Yahweh is the beginning of knowledge; the senseless despise wisdom and discipline. 8Hear, my son, your father’s discipline, and do not cast off your mother’s teaching; 9for they are a graceful wreath for your head and a chain for your neck. 10My son, if sinners try to lure you, do not go along.
