1
Listen to me your father, O children; and act accordingly, that you may be kept in safety.
2
For the Lord honored the father above the children, and he confirmed the right of the mother over her sons.
3
Whoever honors his father atones for sins,
4
and whoever glorifies his mother is like one who lays up treasure.
5
Whoever honors his father will be gladdened by his own children, and when he prays he will be heard.

Whoever glorifies his father will have long life, and whoever obeys the Lord will refresh his mother;
7
he will serve his parents as his masters.
