9 In word and deed, and in all things, honor your father with patience,
10 so that a blessing may come to you from him, and so that his blessing may remain to the very end.
11 The blessing of the father strengthens the houses of the sons; but the curse of the mother uproots even its foundation.
12 Do not boast in the disgrace of your father; for his shame is not your glory.
13 For the glory of a man is from the honor of his father, and a father without honor is a discredit to the son.
14 Son, support your father in his old age, and do not grieve him in his life.
15 And if his mind should fail, show kindness; and do not spurn him when you are in your strength. For almsgiving to the father will never be forgotten.
