2 The Lord gives pride of placeto a father above his childrenand establishes a mother’s judgmentabove that of her offspring.
3 Those who honor their fatherswill make up for their own sins,
4 and those who praise their motherare like people storing up treasure.
5 Those who honor their fatherswill be made happyby their own children,and they will be heard when they pray.
6 Those who praise their fatherswill live a long life,and those who listen to the Lordwill give rest to their mothers,
