25 Thy father and thy mother shall be glad, and she that bare thee shall rejoice.

1 Children, obey your parents in the Lord: for this is right.

2 The elder women as mothers; the younger as sisters, with all purity.

20 And Adah bare Jabal: he was the father of such as dwell in tents, and of such as have cattle.

21 And his brother's name was Jubal: he was the father of all such as handle the harp and organ.

19 My little children, of whom I travail in birth again until Christ be formed in you,

23 And kings shall be thy nursing fathers, and their queens thy nursing mothers: they shall bow down to thee with their face toward the earth, and lick up the dust of thy feet; and thou shalt know that I am the LORD: for they shall not be ashamed that wait for me.
