5 If you respect your father, one day your own children will make you happy; the Lord will hear your prayers.
6 If you obey the Lord by honoring your father and making your mother happy, you will live a long life.
7 Obey your parents as if you were their slave.
8 Honor your father in everything you do and say, so that you may receive his blessing.
9 When parents give their blessing, they give strength to their children's homes, but when they curse their children, they destroy the very foundations.
10 Never seek honor for yourself at your father's expense; it is not to your credit if he is dishonored.
11 Your own honor comes from the respect that you show to your father. If children do not honor their mothers, it is their own disgrace.
