TSK · Deuteronomy 21:18

“Whoever strikes his father or his mother must surely be put to death.

Each of you must respect his mother and his father, and you must keep my Sabbaths. I am the LORD your God.

Be keenly aware that just as a parent disciplines his child, the LORD your God disciplines you.

I will become his father and he will become my son. When he sins, I will correct him with the rod of men and with wounds inflicted by human beings.

The one who spares his rod hates his child, but the one who loves his child is diligent in disciplining him.

Discipline your child, for there is hope, but do not set your heart on causing his death.

Folly is bound up in the heart of a child, but the rod of discipline will drive it far from him.

The one who robs his father and mother and says,“There is no transgression,” is a companion to the one who destroys.

There is a generation who curse their fathers and do not bless their mothers.

Obedience, not Sacrifice Listen, O heavens, pay attention, O earth! For the LORD speaks:“I raised children, I brought them up, but they have rebelled against me!

LORD, I know you look for faithfulness. But even when you punish these people, they feel no remorse. Even when you nearly destroy them, they refuse to be corrected. They have become as hardheaded as a rock. They refuse to change their ways.

They have treated father and mother with contempt within you; they have oppressed the resident foreigner among you; they have wronged the orphan and the widow within you.

“I overthrew some of you the way God overthrew Sodom and Gomorrah. You were like a burning stick snatched from the flames. Still you did not come back to me.” The LORD is speaking!

Besides, we have experienced discipline from our earthly fathers and we respected them; shall we not submit ourselves all the more to the Father of spirits and receive life?
