1
Hear me your father, O children, and do thereafter, that ye may be safe.
2
For the Lord hath given the father honour over the children, and hath confirmed the authority of the mother over the sons.
3
Whoso honoureth his father maketh an atonement for his sins:
4
And he that honoureth his mother is as one that layeth up treasure.
5
Whoso honoureth his father shall have joy of his own children; and when he maketh his prayer, he shall be heard.
6
He that honoureth 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 honour his father, and will do service unto his parents, as to his masters.
8
Honour 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.
