Proverbs 1:8

World English Bible

My son, listen to your father’s instruction,
and don’t forsake your mother’s teaching:

Proverbs 1:8 in other translations

My son, hear the instruction of thy father, And forsake not the law of thy mother:

6to understand a proverb, and parables,
the words and riddles of the wise.
7The fear of Yahweh is the beginning of knowledge;
but the foolish despise wisdom and instruction.
8My son, listen to your father’s instruction,
and don’t forsake your mother’s teaching:
9for they will be a garland to grace your head,
and chains around your neck.
10My son, if sinners entice you,
don’t consent.
