3
2 For the Lord hath given the father honour over the children, and hath confirmed the authority of the
mother over the sons.
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.
9 For the blessing of the father establisheth the houses of children; but the curse of the mother rooteth
out foundations.
11 For the glory of a man is from the honour of his father; and a mother in dishonour is a reproach to the
children.
13 And if his understanding fail, have patience with him; and despise him not when thou art in thy full
strength.
14 For the relieving of thy father shall not be forgotten: and instead of sins it shall be added to build
thee up.
15 In the day of thine affliction it shall be remembered; thy sins also shall melt away, as the ice in the
fair warm weather.
16 He that forsaketh his father is as a blasphemer; and he that angereth his mother is cursed: of God.
21 Seek not out things that are too hard for thee, neither search the things that are above thy strength.
22 But what is commanded thee, think thereupon with reverence, for it is not needful for thee to see with
thine eyes the things that are in secret.
24 For many are deceived by their own vain opinion; and an evil suspicion hath overthrown their judgment.
28 In the punishment of the proud there is no remedy; for the plant of wickedness hath taken root in him.
