16
Whoever forsakes his father is like a blasphemer, and whoever angers his mother is cursed by the Lord.
17
My son, perform your tasks in meekness; then you will be loved by those whom God accepts.
18
The greater you are, the more you must humble yourself; so you will find favor in the sight of the Lord.
20
For great is the might of the Lord; he is glorified by the humble.
