As a father shows compassion to his children,
so the Lord shows compassion to those who fear him. - Psalm 127:3-5 ESV

who fills his quiver with them!
He shall not be put to shame
when he speaks with his enemies in the gate. - Proverbs 3:11-12 ESV

Or which one of you, if his son asks him for bread, will give him a stone? 10 Or if he asks for a fish, will give him a serpent? 11 If you then, who are evil, know how to give good gifts to your children, how much more will your Father who is in heaven give good things to those who ask him! - Ephesians 6:1-4 ESV
Children, obey your parents in the Lord, for this is right. 2 “Honor your father and mother” (this is the first commandment with a promise), 3 “that it may go well with you and that you may live long in the land.” 4 Fathers, do not provoke your children to anger, but bring them up in the discipline and instruction of the Lord.
