1
Hear me your father, O children, and do thereafter, that ye may be safe.
2
For the Lord hath given the father honor over the children, and hath confirmed the authority of the mother over the sons.
3
Whoso honoreth his father maketh an atonement for his sins,
4
and he that honoreth his mother is as one that layeth up treasure.
5
Whoso honoreth his father shall have joy in his own children; and when he maketh his prayer, he shall be heard.
6
He that honoreth his father shall have a long life, and he that is obedient unto the Lord shall be a comfort to his mother.
7
He that feareth the Lord will honor his father, and will do service unto his parents, as to his masters.
8
Honor thy father and mother both in word and deed, that a blessing may come upon thee from them.
9
For the blessing of the father establisheth the houses of children, but the curse of the mother rooteth out foundations.
10
Glory not in the dishonor of thy father, for thy father's dishonor is no glory unto thee.
11
For the glory of a man is from the honor of his father, and a mother in dishonor is a reproach to the children.
