'Son' in the Bible
The proverbs of Solomon, the son of David, king of Israel:
My son, listen to your father's instruction, and don't forsake your mother's teaching:
My son, if sinners entice you, don't consent.
My son, don't walk in the way with them. Keep your foot from their path,
My son, if you will receive my words, and store up my commandments within you;
My son, don't forget my teaching; but let your heart keep my commandments:
My son, don't despise Yahweh's discipline, neither be weary of his reproof:
for whom Yahweh loves, he reproves; even as a father reproves the son in whom he delights.
My son, let them not depart from your eyes. Keep sound wisdom and discretion:
For I was a son to my father, tender and an only child in the sight of my mother.
Listen, my son, and receive my sayings. The years of your life will be many.
My son, pay attention to my wisdom. Turn your ear to my understanding:
For why should you, my son, be captivated with an adulteress? Why embrace the bosom of another?
My son, if you have become collateral for your neighbor, if you have struck your hands in pledge for a stranger;
Do this now, my son, and deliver yourself, since you have come into the hand of your neighbor. Go, humble yourself. Press your plea with your neighbor.
My son, keep your father's commandment, and don't forsake your mother's teaching.
My son, keep my words. Lay up my commandments within you.
