Proverbs 1:8
My son, hear the instruction of thy father, and forsake not the law of thy mother:
Children! Your future depends on obeying your parents. After introducing Proverbs (Pr 1:1-6), Solomon’s second proverb is for children to obey parents (Pr 1:8-9). A father’s instruction and a mother’s law can bring you prosperity (Pr 6:20-23). But rejecting their parental training will bring pain and trouble and an early death (Pr 15:10; 23:13-14).
