Come, ye children, hearken unto me: I will teach you the fear of the LORD.
Ver. 11. Come, ye children, hearken unto me] Ye that are little and low in your own eyes, as seeing your want of holy learning.
I will teach you the fear of the Lord] That best trade, whereby you shall be sure to be kept from want; for by humility and the fear of the Lord are riches, and honour, and life, Proverbs 22:4. He, then, who shall teach this fear should be honoured, and respected as a father. The Jews at this day account a man's teacher, or tutor, worthy of more respect than his father; for he hath given him only his being, the other his well being (Leo Modena).
