Learn to obey before you command.

Society is well governed when its people obey the magistrates, and the magistrates obey the law.

Now therefore, my son, obey my voice according to that which I command thee.

And thou shalt return and obey the voice of the LORD, and do all his commandments which I command thee this day.

I can no longer obey; I have tasted command, and I cannot give it up.

Therefore wait patiently for the command of your Lord, and obey not from among them a sinner or an ungrateful one.
