6 Train up a child in the way he should go: and when he is old, he will not depart from it.
7 The rich ruleth over the poor, and the borrower is servant to the lender.
8 He that soweth iniquity shall reap vanity: and the rod of his anger shall fail.
9 He that hath a bountiful eye shall be blessed; for he giveth of his bread to the poor.
10 Cast out the scorner, and contention shall go out; yea, strife and reproach shall cease.
11 He that loveth pureness of heart, for the grace of his lips the king shall be his friend.
12 The eyes of the LORD preserve knowledge, and he overthroweth the words of the transgressor.
13 The slothful man saith, There is a lion without, I shall be slain in the streets.
14 The mouth of strange women is a deep pit: he that is abhorred of the LORD shall fall therein.
15 Foolishness is bound in the heart of a child; but the rod of correction shall drive it far from him.
16 He that oppresseth the poor to increase his riches, and he that giveth to the rich, shall surely come to want.(KJV)
Hymn: TLH 629 :
Let Children Hear the Mighty Deeds

1. Let children hear the mighty deeds
Which God performed of old,
Which in our younger days we saw,
And which our fathers told.
2. So make to them his glories known,
His works of power and grace;
And we’ll convey his wonders down
Through every rising race.
3. Our lips shall tell them to our sons,
And they again to theirs
That generations yet unborn
May teach them to their heirs.
4. Oh, teach them with all diligence
The truths of god’s own Word,
To place in him their confidence,
To fear and trust their Lord.
5. To learn that in our god alone
Their hope securely stands,
That they may never doubt his love
But walk in his commands.
