Prov 6, 20 Reject not your mother's teaching

(Prov 6, 20) Reject not your mother's teaching

[20] Observe, my son, your father's bidding, and reject not your mother's teaching; [21] Keep them fastened over your heart always, put them around your neck;

(CCC 2216) Filial respect is shown by true docility and obedience. "My son, keep your father's commandment, and forsake not your mother's teaching.... When you walk, they will lead you; when you lie down, they will watch over you; and when you awake, they will talk with you" (Prov 6:20-22). "A wise son hears his father's instruction, but a scoffer does not listen to rebuke" (Prov 13:1).
