“A son who makes foolish life decisions is a disaster to a father.” — Tremper Longman
“Good things (house and riches) come from the previous generation, but this is nothing compared to the gift that can only come from Yahweh: a wise wife.”—Tremper Longman
“The sages put a lot of emphasis on the urgency of instructing the young in the ways of wisdom. If they are allowed to grow old without being influenced toward the way of wisdom, then they will be locked into a foolish mind-set, and folly leads to death. Thus, withholding instruction from children is regarded as an attempt on their lives.” —Tremper Longman
