Embrace Wisdom

Listen, my son, to your father’s instruction and do not forsake your mother’s teaching. They are a garland to grace your head and a chain to adorn your neck. ~ Proverbs 1:8-9 (NIV)

Listen to Your Parents

“[Exhortations to Embrace Wisdom][Warning Against Enticement] Listen, my son, to your father’s instruction and do not forsake your mother’s teaching. They will be a garland to grace your head and a chain to adorn your neck.” ~ Proverbs 1:8-9 (NIV 1984)

Well-Nurtured Plants

May our sons in their youth
be like plants full grown,
our daughters like corner pillars
cut for the structure of a palace; (ESV)

Then our sons in their youth
will be like well-nurtured plants,
and our daughters will be like pillars
carved to adorn a palace. (NIV 1984)

~ Psalm 144:12
