NASB
"When I was a son to my father, Tender and the only son in the sight of my mother,"
— Proverbs 4:3, NASB
“For I was my father’s son, tender and only beloved in the sight of my mother.”
“For I was a son unto my father, 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, O sons, the instruction of a father, And give attention that you may gain understanding,
For I give you sound teaching; Do not abandon my instruction.
When I was a son to my father, Tender and the only son in the sight of my mother,
Then he taught me and said to me, "Let your heart hold fast my words; Keep my commandments and live;
Acquire wisdom! Acquire understanding! Do not forget nor turn away from the words of my mouth.
"Do not forsake her, and she will guard you; Love her, and she will watch over you.
