Ben Sira 3:8

8 Honor your father by word and deed, that his blessing may come upon you.

Ben Sira 3:8 In-Context

6 Those who respect their father will have long life, and those who honor their mother obey the Lord;

7 they will serve their parents as their masters.

8 Honor your father by word and deed, that his blessing may come upon you.

9 For a father's blessing strengthens the houses of the children, but a mother's curse uproots their foundations.

10 Do not glorify yourself by dishonoring your father, for your father's dishonor is no glory to you.
