Genesis 49:2

Treasury of Scripture Knowledge

Gather yourselves together, and hear, ye sons of Jacob; and hearken unto Israel your father.

Come, you children, listen to me;

I will teach you the fear of the Lord.

Hear, my son, your father’s instruction

And do not forsake your mother’s teaching;

Hear, O sons, the instruction of a father,
And give attention that you may gain understanding,

My son, give attention to my wisdom,

Incline your ear to my understanding;

My son, observe the commandment of your father

And do not forsake the teaching of your mother;

My son, keep my words
And treasure my commandments within you.

“Now therefore, O sons, listen to me,
For blessed are they who keep my ways.

Listen to your father who begot you,

And do not despise your mother when she is old.
