The sons of wisdom are the church of the just: and their generation, obedience and love. 2Children, hear the judgment of your father, and so do that you may be saved. 3For God hath made the father honourable to the children: and seeking the judgment of the mothers, hath confirmed it upon the children. 4He that loveth God, shall obtain pardon for his sins by prayer, and shall refrain himself from them, and shall be heard in the prayer of days. 5And he that honoureth his mother is as one that layeth up a treasure. 6He that honoureth his father shall have joy in his own children, and in the day of his prayer he shall be heard. 7He that honoureth his father shall enjoy a long life: and he that obeyeth the father, shall be a comfort to his mother. 8He that feareth the Lord, honoureth his parents, and will serve them as his masters that brought him into the world. 9Honour thy father, in work and word, and all patience, 10That a blessing may come upon thee from him, and his blessing may remain in the latter end. 11The father's blessing establisheth the houses of the children: but the mother's curse rooteth up the foundation. 12Glory not in the dishonour of thy father: for his shame is no glory to thee. 13For the glory of a man is from the honour of his father, and a father without honour is the disgrace of the son. 14Son, support the old age of thy father, and grieve him not in his life; 15And if his understanding fail, have patience with him, and despise him not when thou art in thy strength: for the relieving of the father shall not be forgotten. 16For good shall be repaid to thee for the sin of thy mother.
