Ben Sira 3:8

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

Ben Sira 3:8 In-Context

6 Whoever glorifies his father will have long life, and whoever obeys the Lord will refresh his mother;
7 he will serve his parents as his masters.
8 Honor your father by word and deed, that a blessing from him 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.
