A father’s responsibility

Proverbs 4:1 “Listen, my sons, to a father’s instruction; pay attention and gain understanding.” A father has a responsibility to impart wisdom to his children and children have a responsibility to listen to their father.  Passing on wisdom and knowledge is one of the most important concerns a father should have.  With a lack of this duty both the child and the parent will suffer, but with an understanding both child and parent will receive benefits more valuable than gold.
