אָב

A wise son maketh a glad father: but a foolish man despiseth his mother.

Children's children are the crown of old men; and the glory of children are their fathers.

He that begetteth a fool doeth it to his sorrow: and the father of a fool hath no joy.

A foolish son is a grief to his father, and bitterness to her that bare him.

A foolish son is the calamity of his father: and the contentions of a wife are a continual dropping.

House and riches are the inheritance of fathers: and a prudent wife is from the LORD.

He that wasteth his father, and chaseth away his mother, is a son that causeth shame, and bringeth reproach.

Whoso curseth his father or his mother, his lamp shall be put out in obscure darkness.

Remove not the ancient landmark, which thy fathers have set.

Hearken unto thy father that begat thee, and despise not thy mother when she is old.

The father of the righteous shall greatly rejoice: and he that begetteth a wise child shall have joy of him.

Thy father and thy mother shall be glad, and she that bare thee shall rejoice.

Thine own friend, and thy father's friend, forsake not; neither go into thy brother's house in the day of thy calamity: for better is a neighbour that is near than a brother far off.

Whoso keepeth the law is a wise son: but he that is a companion of riotous men shameth his father.

Whoso robbeth his father or his mother, and saith, It is no transgression; the same is the companion of a destroyer.

Whoso loveth wisdom rejoiceth his father: but he that keepeth company with harlots spendeth his substance.

There is a generation that curseth their father, and doth not bless their mother.

The eye that mocketh at his father, and despiseth to obey his mother, the ravens of the valley shall pick it out, and the young eagles shall eat it.

When a man shall take hold of his brother of the house of his father, saying, Thou hast clothing, be thou our ruler, and let this ruin be under thy hand:

The LORD shall bring upon thee, and upon thy people, and upon thy father's house, days that have not come, from the day that Ephraim departed from Judah; even the king of Assyria.

For before the child shall have knowledge to cry, My father, and my mother, the riches of Damascus and the spoil of Samaria shall be taken away before the king of Assyria.

For unto us a child is born, unto us a son is given: and the government shall be upon his shoulder: and his name shall be called Wonderful, Counsellor, The mighty God, The everlasting Father, The Prince of Peace.

Prepare slaughter for his children for the iniquity of their fathers; that they do not rise, nor possess the land, nor fill the face of the world with cities.

And I will clothe him with thy robe, and strengthen him with thy girdle, and I will commit thy government into his hand: and he shall be a father to the inhabitants of Jerusalem, and to the house of Judah.
