Sirach 3:8

8 Honor your father in action and word so that a blessing will come from him to you,

Sirach 3:8 In-Context

6 Those who praise their fathers will live a long life, and those who listen to the Lord will give rest to their mothers,

7 and they will serve their parents as their masters.

8 Honor your father in action and word so that a blessing will come from him to you,

9 since a father's blessing supports his children's families, but a mother's curse undermines their foundations.

10 Don't glorify yourself in your father's disgrace, because your father's disgrace brings you no credit.
