The Holy Bible: The King James Version. 1611. (Proverbs 22:6).

It's not always easy for a father to understand the interests and ways of his son. It seems the songs of our children may be in keys we've never tried. The melody of each generation emerges from all that's gone before. Each one of us contributes in some unique way to the composition of life.

Within a pair of minutes, thereabout,
A lump bred up in darkness.

Set not up with God another god, or thou wilt sit condemned and forsaken. The Lord has decreed you shall not serve any but Him, and be good to parents...
