From which book is the verse 'Train up a child in the way he should go' found?

• A. Psalm
• B. Sirach
• C. Proverbs
• D. Deuteronomy

Answer: (C)

This line sits in a book of practical wisdom that offers short, guiding sayings about everyday life and character formation. It belongs to Proverbs, a collection focused on how to live rightly and shape a child’s path from the start. The idea is to begin training a child in the right way so that, as they grow, that route remains their built-in habit. That emphasis on guidance, discipline, and lasting impact is exactly what Proverbs is known for.

Psalms is a collection of songs, prayers, and worship; Sirach (Ecclesiasticus) appears in some canons as an additional wisdom work, not universal to all traditions; and Deuteronomy is a law- and history-oriented book. None of those match the nature of this proverb as a piece of wise parenting counsel like Proverbs does.
