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,
7 and they will serve their parentsas their masters.
8 Honor your father in action and wordso that a blessing will comefrom him to you,
9 since a father’s blessingsupports his children’s families,but a mother’s curseundermines their foundations.
