Ben Sira 3:1

1 Hear me your father, O children, and do thereafter, that ye may be safe.

Ben Sira 3:1 In-Context

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.
