"For I was a son unto my father, Tender and only beloved in the sight of my mother. "
— Proverbs 4:3, American Standard Version
“For I was my father’s son, tender and only beloved in the sight of my mother.”
“For I was a son to my father, tender and an only child in the sight of my mother.”
“When I was a son to my father, a tender only child before my mother,”
“For I also was my father's son, tender, and as an only son in the sight of my mother:”
“For I was a son to my father, a gentle and an only one to my mother.”
“For I was my father’s son, tender and only beloved in the sight of my mother.”
Hear, mysons, the instruction of a father, And attend to know understanding:
For I give you good doctrine; Forsake ye not my law.
For I was a son unto my father, Tender and only beloved in the sight of my mother.
And he taught me, and said unto me: Let thy heart retain my words; Keep my commandments, and live;
Get wisdom, get understanding; Forget not, neither decline from the words of my mouth;
Forsake her not, and she will preserve thee; Love her, and she will keep thee.
