Parents--even bad ones--have lived longer than you and have more life experience. They can be terrible people who make one bad decision after another....and still have some good advice for you.

Then Moses turned to YHWH and said, “O Lord, why have you done evil to this people? Why did you ever send me? For since I came to Pharaoh to speak in your name, he has done evil to this people, and you have not delivered your people at all.”
#exodus 5:22-23
God's perspective is greater than ours, and he moves in his own time. When Moses obeyed God, things got much worse for the Hebrews before they got better. Faithful obedience to God and his Torah requires great #faith.
Therefore thus says YHWH, who redeemed Abraham, concerning the house of Jacob: “Jacob shall no more be ashamed, no more shall his face grow pale. For when he sees his children, the work of my hands, in his midst, they will sanctify my name; they will sanctify the Holy One of Jacob and will stand in awe of the God of Israel. And those who go astray in spirit will come to understanding, and those who murmur will accept instruction.”
Isaiah 29:22-24
God judges, then rescues his people so they learn to sanctify his name and fear him, and so that they gain understanding. Discipline makes the stubborn teachable.
The ancients discovered the Bible was written to be interpreted. They discovered layers of understanding and came up with an acronym PRDS, which is often pronounced PaRDeS, a play on the word for paradise.
In this understanding, scripture is interpreted in four levels:
Peshat means plain or literal
Remez means hints or allegories
Derash means comparative or analagous
Sod means "mystery, like yet to be revealed"
The way this is applied is the plain or literal meaning of a passage is always true (if it can be true). This is where one starts to form doctrines, on the plain, literal, and simple meaning of the text. Then as you navigate through the levels, the plain is always true.
For example, adultery is always literal even though it's applied to Israel and Judah as an analogy. God never really married Israel and never really divorced her. The church is prepared like a bride for Christ, but we're not literally going to marry our adopted brother.
Understanding the Tanakh aka the Old Testament was written like this, expected to be read and applied like this, and this is how the Apostles wrote the New Testament can really open up your bible studies! Shalom! More like this at the link.

And the foremen of the people of Israel, whom Pharaoh's taskmasters had set over them, were beaten and were asked, “Why have you not done all your task of making bricks today and yesterday, as in the past?”
Exodus 5:14
The foremen of the Hebrew slaves were in a terrible position. They were hated by the Hebrews and despised by Pharaoh.

Fine speech is not becoming to a fool; still less is false speech to a prince.
Proverbs 17:7 ESV
When a known fool pontificates, wiser people shake their heads and ignore him or else wonder what he's scheming. When a well-respected person says something foolish or dishonest, good people are sickened. It's a betrayal of their trust.
