1
THE sons of wisdom are the church of the just: and their generation, obedience and love.
2
Children, hear the judgment of your father, and so do that you may be saved.
3
For God hath made the father honourable to the children: and seeking the judgment of the mothers, hath confirmed it upon the children.
4
He that loveth God, shall obtain pardon for his sine by prayer, and shall refrain himself from them, and shall be heard in the prayer of days.
5
And he that honoureth his mother is as one that layeth up a treasure.
6
He that honoureth his father shall have joy in his own children, and in the day of his prayer he shall be heard.
7
He that honoureth his father shall enjoy a long life: and he that obeyeth the father, shall be a comfort to his mother.
8
He that feareth the Lord, honoureth his parents, and will serve them as his masters that brought him into the world.
9
Honour thy father, in work and word, and all patience,
10
That a blessing may come upon thee from him, and his blessing may remain in the latter end.
11
The father's blessing establisheth the houses of the children: but the mother's curse rooteth up the foundation.
