HONOUR THY FATHER AND THY MOTHER — KJV (King James Version) Bible Verse List

Posted on April 13, 2026 by Bill Kochman

#Scriptures #BibleStudy #BibleVerses #HonorThyFather #HonorYourParents #RespectYourParents

“Honour thy father and thy mother: that thy days may be long upon the land which the LORD thy God giveth thee.”
Exodus 20:12, KJV

“Honour thy father and thy mother, as the LORD thy God hath commanded thee; that thy days may be prolonged, and that it may go well with thee, in the land which the LORD thy God giveth thee.”
Deuteronomy 5:16, KJV

“But he answered and said unto them, Why do ye also transgress the commandment of God by your tradition? For God commanded, saying, Honour thy father and mother: and, He that curseth father or mother, let him die the death. But ye say, Whosoever shall say to his father or his mother, It is a gift, by whatsoever thou mightest be profited by me; And honour not his father or his mother, he shall be free. Thus have ye made the commandment of God of none effect by your tradition.”
Matthew 15:3-6, KJV

“Honour thy father and thy mother: and, Thou shalt love thy neighbour as thyself.”
Matthew 19:19, KJV

“And he said unto them, Full well ye reject the commandment of God, that ye may keep your own tradition. For Moses said, Honour thy father and thy mother; and, Whoso curseth father or mother, let him die the death: But ye say, If a man shall say to his father or mother, It is Corban, that is to say, a gift, by whatsoever thou mightest be profited by me; he shall be free. And ye suffer him no more to do ought for his father or his mother; Making the word of God of none effect through your tradition, which ye have delivered: and many such like things do ye.”
Mark 7:9-13, KJV

“Thou knowest the commandments, Do not commit adultery, Do not kill, Do not steal, Do not bear false witness, Defraud not, Honour thy father and mother.”
Mark 10:19, KJV

“Thou knowest the commandments, Do not commit adultery, Do not kill, Do not steal, Do not bear false witness, Honour thy father and thy mother.”
Luke 18:20, KJV

“Children, obey your parents in the Lord: for this is right. Honour thy father and mother; (which is the first commandment with promise;) That it may be well with thee, and thou mayest live long on the earth. And, ye fathers, provoke not your children to wrath: but bring them up in the nurture and admonition of the Lord.”
Ephesians 6:1-4, KJV

Thank-you!

LONG LIFE AND LENGTH OF DAYS — KJV (King James Version) Bible Verse List

Posted on April 13, 2026 by Bill Kochman

#Scriptures #BibleStudy #BibleVerses #LongLife #LengthOfDays #LiveALongLife

“My son, forget not my law; but let thine heart keep my commandments: For length of days, and long life, and peace, shall they add to thee.”
Proverbs 3:1-2, KJV

“Length of days is in her [Wisdom’s] right hand; and in her left hand riches and honour.”
Proverbs 3:16, KJV

“With the ancient is wisdom; and in length of days understanding. With him is wisdom and strength, he hath counsel and understanding.”
Job 12:12-13, KJV

“With long life will I satisfy him, and shew him my salvation.”
Psalm 91:16, KJV

“He asked life of thee, and thou gavest it him, even length of days for ever and ever.”
Psalm 21:4, KJV

Young King Solomon:

“Give therefore thy servant an understanding heart to judge thy people, that I may discern between good and bad: for who is able to judge this thy so great a people? And the speech pleased the Lord, that Solomon had asked this thing. And God said unto him, Because thou hast asked this thing, and hast not asked for thyself long life; neither hast asked riches for thyself, nor hast asked the life of thine enemies; but hast asked for thyself understanding to discern judgment; Behold, I have done according to thy words: lo, I have given thee a wise and an understanding heart; so that there was none like thee before thee, neither after thee shall any arise like unto thee. And I have also given thee that which thou hast not asked, both riches, and honour: so that there shall not be any among the kings like unto thee all thy days. And if thou wilt walk in my ways, to keep my statutes and my commandments, as thy father David did walk, then I will lengthen thy days.”
1 Kings 3:9-14, KJV

Young King Solomon:

“Give me now wisdom and knowledge, that I may go out and come in before this people: for who can judge this thy people, that is so great? And God said to Solomon, Because this was in thine heart, and thou hast not asked riches, wealth, or honour, nor the life of thine enemies, neither yet hast asked long life; but hast asked wisdom and knowledge for thyself, that thou mayest judge my people, over whom I have made thee king: Wisdom and knowledge is granted unto thee; and I will give thee riches, and wealth, and honour, such as none of the kings have had that have been before thee, neither shall there any after thee have the like.”
2 Chronicles 1:10-12, KJV

Thank-you!

THE DAY GOD’S WRATH FELL — a poem and song by BBB

THE DAY GOD’S WRATH FELL

by Bill Kochman

https://www.billkochman.com/Poetry

09-01-2024

Surely we cannot say that we didn’t know,
His messengers many warnings had given,
But we were so drunk on that wicked spirit,
And so to greater sin we were simply driven.

Across the country like a rampant disease,
Our foolish rebellion just so rapidly spread,
Oh how we danced so wildly in city streets,
Not once did we really stop to think ahead.

But then the sands of time suddenly ran out,
And a wrathful God said we had gone too far,
So just like that His judgments began to fall,
And now in tribulation is where we sadly are.

The sound of mirth is now quiet everywhere,
And only weeping and terrible sadness reign,
While even tho we try to console each other,
There’s just no ridding ourselves of this pain.

Rebellious children stricken by an angry God,
Even our desperate prayers He will not hear,
But now we understand that it’s our own fault,
Because we did not give His prophets an ear.

TV ALIENS

by Bill Kochman

https://www.billkochman.com/Poetry

01-02-2017

All across the television dial,
We have seen them for many years,
So many shapes, colors and sizes,
Famous ones even have pointed ears.

But I must really stop and wonder,
If any of the strangeness is true,
Let’s ponder and consider a moment,
And just think the alien idea thru.

If God made humans in His own image,
Would He not do the same elsewhere?
Thus all of this television fantasy,
May just be meant to give us a scare.

#TheyRefusedToListen #RefusedToListen #Stubborn #Rebellion #Rebellious

While all of the verses in this set of graphics are discussing the ancient, stubborn, rebellious Israelites who repeatedly backslid against the Lord, and fell into deep apostasy, they could just as easily be talking about modern America, or any other modern nation which has heard the Gospel, and yet continues in rebellion against the Lord and His holy Word. Repent, because your day of reckoning is coming!

CANNON FODDER

by Bill Kochman

https://www.billkochman.com/Poetry

11-08-2023

Whether you’re America’s son or a daughter,
Well, sorry, but you’re still just cannon fodder.
Of course, they’ll make you promises galore,
Anything to convince you to fight their war.

They will talk about patriotism, you will see,
Tell you you’re helping to spread democracy.
Now just go kill the enemy and all will be well,
But those countries have all turned into hell.

Yes, look at nations where the USA invaded,
There is no peace and now America is hated.
Go right ahead, count off nations one by one,
Not any of them is now democratically run.

They all still squabble and they all still fight,
So why did we send all our American might?
Billions of dollars spent & weapons sent too,
One of these days they may use ‘em on you.

So when that sly recruiter offers you a chair,
Don’t be so stupid, man just get out of there!
