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.
11
The glory of one's father is one's own glory, and it is a disgrace for children not to respect their mother.
